Unity 3D not running with Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller

[bobdicarat]

Hallo everybody. I've got a Sony Vaio VGN_NS21M with an Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07). Upgraded to Natty Narwhalbut Unity 3d won't run because the system says my hardware doesn't support it. So I'm running Ubuntu Classic. Is there some driver that I can install or is my pc too old and should forget 3D for good? Thank you.

Same problem here.
But actually it did work until 2 days ago. After a fresh install and choosing the recommended additional nvidia driver everything worked fine for a week.
recently i got problems when i tried to extend my desktop to a second monitor. then after a restart i suddenly got the message that my hardware is not compatible to unity ubuntu is therefore using the classic desktop....

any ideas how to solve this. it has to work as i already enjoyed unity on this laptop!

my sysinfo:
GNOME 2.32.1
Kernel 2.6.38-9-generic-pae
gcc 4.5.2 (i686-linux-gnu)
x.org 1.10.1 (19 April 2011 03:33:17PM)
CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P9700 @ 2.80GHz
Graphics: Intel Corporation Mile 4 Series Chipset

My graphic card is an Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset integrated Graphic Controller (rev07)

I guess I don't need the Nvidia driver... or do I?

No... Nvidia is not Intel

OK I've got it. I'll stick to Ubuntu Classic. After all I tried Unity 2D and don't quite like it. It kind of sucks. I'll try it in the next release.
