I have a system with switchable graphics: an ATI Radeon HD 6770M, and an Intel HD 3000. I installed the driver from additional-drivers. The Post Release Updates one was unable to be installed, so I simply installed the other one.

Everything works fine with the AMD card.

The problem is when I switch to the Intel card to get more battery life, I have to use Gnome classic or Unity 2D. Unity 3D or Gnome 3 does not work. It just shows my desktop background and nothing else.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit.

EDIT: I have uninstalled Unity, so my objective is to get Gnome 3 working with my Intel card.

It's quite long, so I'm not going to write it out here, just look at the link. My Intel Graphics is working now!

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – jokerdino♦ Nov 26 '12 at 23:11
