[Bug 71516] RV350 Radeon 9550 - no Unity 3D hardware support in Ubuntu 13.10, extremely slow

X won't start without LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE set. Log file is Xort.0.log.sav above.

That doesn't show any problem. Maybe check the display manager (lightdm?) log files to see if the X server stderr contains more information.

Meanwhile, you could let it set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to get into X, then run unity_support_test something like this:

( unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE; /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p )

Radeon 9600 vs. 9550?

Just two different marketing names for the same hardware.

Not sure anybody needs to run Xorg -configure anymore, [...]

Nobody does. It's been deprecated and barely working for a long time.
