I am trying to get Unity 3d running on Ubuntu 11.10

I ran the test shared on this post
How to enable Unity 3D on an Nvidia Quadro 1000M

and I got this result:

me@Dell-Ubuntu:~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

Error: unable to create the OpenGL context

I have a Dell XPS 15 L502x with Geforce 555M 1GB graphics card.

How can I enable Unity 3D with this setup? Thanks

Bumblebee and your graphics card were already largely discussed here. Have a look.

Basic recommendation is stay away from optimus, nvidia does not give driver support for linux on those yet!

The only methods known to do anything in your graphics is to disable the nvidia card with acpi calls, saves battery but that wont do any good on turning your unity3d on, you will be running with your default Intel card, which is also a very bad thing.
