Unity 2D desktop has been removed from Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), from now on there is a single 3D Unity Desktop.
If your system has an older graphics card which is unable to render the 3D effects then LLVM Pipe will be used to push graphic effects through the CPU instead of the GPU.

I show this feature working in VirtualBox with a few extra Compiz settings enabled, this has a massive side effect causing CPU usage to max out briefly.

Ubuntu 12.10 is still unstable, and thanks to the latest X.Org update is pretty difficult to get working in VirtualBox and on Nvidia systems.
