I got a similar problem here with an Intel GM965, also in Ubuntu 11.04.

I was trying to install the games from the Humble Indie Bundle. At first
I installed Penumbra and it ran really smoothly. After that, I installed
World of Goo, but when I tried to run it I got a screen with something
like a very thick black border with the top left quarter of my wallpaper
on the center of it. Gish also ran fine at first (it starts at windowed
mode), but after I changed the game graphical options to fullscreen and
restarted the game I got the same weird screen as before. Aquaria ran a
blank screen after the installation. Then I started to get the weird or
the blank screen even when I tried to play Penumbra.

What I noticed is that if a game started in windowed mode and afterwards
I set it to fullscreen everything went fine, but if a game already
started at fullscreen I got a blank screen. It happened both in Unity
and Gnome2.

I think a temporary workaround could be to edit the configs of those
games with fullscreen defaults so that they start windowed.

After a long time looking for a solution, I decided to uninstall World
of Goo and see if it worked out, and it did. All the other games started
running correctly in fullscreen, default or not.
