[Po-Hsu Lin]

CID: 201305-13527 Dell Precision M4800

With "Enable Switchable Graphics" disabled in the BIOS, this system would use software rendering in Unity.

ubuntu@201305-13527:~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -c -p
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.3

Not software rendered: no
Not blacklisted: yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap: yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes

Compiz supported: no

But with that aforementioned option enabled, it won't have this issue.

This issue could be fixed by installing the proprietary nvidia-331 driver. Therefore I think we don't need to add the blocker tag to this.
