I installed Ubuntu earlier today, and Unity was running fine, but after installing the drivers for my Video card, I rebooted and it told me I did not have the hardware required to run Unity.

The exact error message:

It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment.

I tried opening up ATI Catalyst Control Center to see if there was anything I needed changed in there and got this:

There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.

No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.


Under additional drivers, it lists the ATI Driver that I installed and has this description

3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for ATI cards.

This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of some ATI graphics cards, as well as provide 2D acceleration of newer cards.
It says it's activated and in use.
