Under in the login screen is a panel, by that panel you can choose your session.

Otherwise you don't have 3D support for you nVidia card or SiS chipset

You have to install the nouveau experimental 3D drivers. Install the following package: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental

After installing that package you have to restart your computer
