Binary package hint: unity
I have a computer with two graphic cards installed, one Nvidia GeForce 6200 and one Nvidia GeForce 9500GT. I try to use the default "Ubuntu" session but unity3d never starts. I only see the desktop and my desktop icons and the mouse pointer.
I'm attaching the .xsession-errors file.

As you can see from the .xsession-errors file, compiz complains about 'Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32'.
But if you have a look at my xorg.conf file, I only have depth 24 configured.
