Ok, well, it is trying to use llvmpipe. A fairly recent change in Nux
handles this now (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-
team/nux/trunk/revision/810#debian/50_check_unity_support).
Looking at the gnome-session.log, the failure is occurring when the open plugin
is asking if the X session supports OpenGL/GLX and it is returning false which
causes the opengl plugin to fatally error out. From the opengl plugin:
glXGetConfig (dpy, visinfo, GLX_USE_GL, &value);
if (!value)
{
compLogMessage ("opengl", CompLogLevelFatal,
"Root visual is not a GL visual");
XFree (visinfo);
screen->handleCompizEvent ("opengl", "fatal_fallback", o);
setFailed ();
return;
}
I suspect something in llvmpipe is misbehaving, but what it could be is
beyond my knowledge.
