Make Unity run in 3D mode on Ubuntu 12.04

  • 772

My computer, a Samsung q330 with a Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz with 4 GB RAM, runs Unity in 2D mode. I have tried to see how to activate 3D mode, but I cant figure out how to do it and I am in doubt whether or not my laptop acually has the power to run it in 3D mode. Can you help me find out about that?

12.04

  1. Try to make it work with open graphic drivers cause every time I had 2d mode was when i had graphic driver errors

    ATi:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    Nvidia:

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

    To purge it if having problems use ctrl alt f1 to summon console and install ppa-purge Install ppa-purge:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

    Then use the newly installed ppa-purge command to purge the package:

    sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

    Or install closed drivers go to dash and search drivers and activate driver.

    Other option is to download your video card driver from ATi, Nvidia and find instructions to install it.
