thank you for your bug report, bug #768178 suggests that geforce fx cards are not really supported for unity though
i hope there will be a patch for geforce fx cards. what should we do for now?
Use unity-2d
If this card is unsupported, then it should get a fallback vs. a buggy unity
Alex, the blacklist is in dx components.
Related to nvidia-173 driver and nouveau
+ blacklist old geforce fx cards for unity-3d
This needs to be fixed as unity as people with these cards get nothing at all as unity support test think these cards are supported but unity does not start at all for some people with gefore fx 5200 for example
This bug was fixed in the package nux - 1.14.0-0ubuntu1
