Comment 4 for bug 964044

Thanks assassini! I did think of that, but how to do it wasn't obvious & I got distracted and never really followed up. 2d worked for me two, and now that we talk about it, I vaugly recall having to go out of my way to specially install and use 2d on the previous release, so I should have seen this coming...

Having said that, *something* needs to detect that 3d Unity isn't going to work and degrade more gracefully to 2d...

The "greeter" (whatever one it is this week) should also be more clear about your session options. Clicking on the Ubuntu logo for this function is *not at all intiative*! There are some options near the top right (which you also need to really look around for, since all of the action is at the opposite side of the screen on the lower left), so perhaps adding "Session" or some better word, since normal uses may not know what a "session" is, would help.
