Unity checks for "bad" PCI-IDs and graphics drivers every time ubuntu 12.x boots up. Based on the decision if your gpu is "bad", it will then automatically present either the Unity 3d or the 2d environment.
I think this graphical corruption the user sees is the hidden checking process that runs in the background and tests the gpu's features or polls for the device-id and the driver being in use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931967 Title: Corrupted graphics after the login until the unity launcher appears To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/931967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
