I have NVIDIA on my machine (using it on OS windows 7), why do I see Mesa here when I run this code?

Can I change to NVIDIA and have Unity?

Thanks

OMG! OMG! I got it!
It's awesome!
I just installed Compiz Fusion (the only Compiz package I had not yet installed) then loaded it. A blue cube with an arrow appeared on the top right corner of the desktop. I right-clicked on it and opted for "Reload Window Manager" and then puff! It all fell in the right place. Now I have the three menus AND the sidebar of Unity 3D!
BTW, I used Gedit to save the "/etc/environment" file because "sudo nano /etc/environment" was not saving the edit. I did "sudo gedit /etc/environment", added the new line and saved it, as stated initially.

It works now! Don't know if it will stay on reboot though.

SO to summarize it all:
1. I installed Compiz Window Manager (yesterday)
2. Changed the Nvidia Driver to version 173 (System>Administration> Additional Drivers> Nvidia 173, requires reboot)
3. Through Terminal I gave

sudo gedit /etc/environment

and added "UNITY_FORCE_START=1", then saved and closed Gedit. (Today)
4. I installed Compiz Fusion through Ubuntu SW Centre, enabled it and Reloaded the windows manger.
That's it!
Check out my new desktop.
Hope it stays on my next reboot!
Will let you know.

How do you keep the top bar on your screen,

Which program do you use to have the bar at the bottom?
