Agreed, this is probably a bad experience to give users. It can pop up in cases where there is nothing wrong with the hardware, just that the software isn't up to snuff.

The dialog is ok for alpha releases but should be revisited by beta.

I don't think the dialog should start recommending installing different drivers, that just seems like fail. If we know newer drivers solve the issues then they should be packaged and installed.

Honestly I think this is a case where no warning message would be better. If they know the difference between classic and unity, it'll be obvious that they're not running unity; this dialog doesn't add to their knowledge in that situation. If they don't know the difference, then this dialog will just confuse them and make them worry that Ubuntu is broken.
