NVidia GeForce Go 7300/7400 might have been black listed on Ubuntu 11.04 as they found to have been hanging during the startup. Unity 3D can run with the “nvidia 173″ driver on these cards.
To force detection at startup, you can:
- sudo nano /etc/environment
- add: UNITY_FORCE_START=1
- Save the file with Ctrl+S
- reboot
Ensure you are choosing the “ubuntu” session in gdm (default). This will bypass the detection and try to start unity 3D. This will help you run Unity on your machine.. Be warned about any slowness that you might feel while using it.
