Broken unity / compiz on an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64, with graphic ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650

UNity doesn't start, but I still have unity 2D.

I tried compiz --replace

it gives me :

This worked for me:

The Unity plugin box is not checked in CCSM by default. Login and select unity 2d. Open CCSM and check the Unity plugin box. Log out and back in with Unity selected.
