How can I activate Unity?

Ubuntu 11.04 Unity desktop is not loading, instead it switches to "classic" mode. Is this something related to nVidia hardware? By the way, my card is a GeForce 210. Should I try to install the proprietary nVidia drivers?

You must install Nvidia driver if you want to use unity.Install appropriate driver form Hardware Drivers.After reboot unity will be loaded.

Edit

If you have Nvidia card and you cannot see any drivers for your card, you can use this PPA to install them right away. (this PPA works on 11.04 also) -

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

and restart the system.
