I can confirm #109. I'm using a GeForce FX 5200 card. I've tried to force unity to start by adding UNITY_FORCE_START=1 to /etc/environment. Unity starts but is unusable (icons missing and very very slow), so I assume that Unity simply does not work with an old card like this. I will stay with Unity 2D for now.

However, package nvidia-173 from ubuntu-proposed is installable and working, so I think this bug is solved :-)
