I am running 64 bit Ubuntu on Dell with 1GB graphic card.
I login with "Ubuntu" hoping to see Unity 3d but it doesn't. Unity 2D runs instead. when I type in
echo "$DESKTOP_SESSION"
it confirms the Unity-2D.
I've checked the System info that shows like :
The graphics row shows itself as empty. SO I've presumed that the graphic drivers aren't detected and hence I went to Unity-> Additional Drivers and installed the fglrx driver that the UI has suggested.
Even after installing so, the graphics part in System info details shows nothing and still Unity 2D runs in spite of all the effort.
Please help! How can I get my Unity 3D back?
