Comment 7 for bug 962102

Ok, so I think it is something rather odd on my system. Rebooting produces a similar result, but I do get and X crash (possibly in the nvidia driver) and a unity crash on logging in. both recover and let me continue, but I think it is dropping me down to a partial unity-2d interface.

I have just disabled acpi with acpi=off on my grub options to work around another issue where my cpu was stuck at 800mhz scaling. This time, I no longer got crashes on login, and myunity now sees me as not being 2d.
ps also no longer shows any unity-2d processes.

I am closing the bug as invalid.
