Hardware Acceleration is disabled by default on my fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.1. I did a
$/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
in the terminal and got the result the everything is supported except Unity 3D. Previously I tried using 14.10 and everything was silky smooth on my machine. I am assuming that the hardware acceleration was enabled, so this shows that it is possble to run Unity with hardware acceleration. Could someone please tell me how to enable this.
