Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

When loading Unity on 11.04 on hardware with an nForce 430 mobo and
onboard GeForce 6150, the screen is either partially corrupted and
performance is very slow, or no background is loaded (plain white) and
all applications seem to open as simply white squares.

As to whether this is a bug in Compiz or a bug in the nVidia proprietary
drivers (nVidia X Settings reports that I'm using version 270.41.03), I
can't really tell as Nouveau refuses to load on my system at all,
resulting in a blank screen and my monitor going into power-saving mode
and I can't even bring up a virtual terminal.
