Yes, but in Maverick, disabling the KMS really solved the problem (3d
accleration working).

I use as a "workaround" the following: 1) I do use the KMS (even if that
doesn't solve the problem, it allows me to use 3d acceleration when
occasionally works). 2) I use unity-2d. 3) I activated Metacity
compositing (that really helps to feel "like at home"). 4) If I have to
use an application that needs 3d acceleration and at the moment it's not
working (I check it with glxgears), I open a terminal and run: `export
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1` and then I run the desired application, but of
course, everything is very very slow (keeping the window the smallest
possible helps). But at least I can work with Stellarium, and Visual-
Python and even Blender (that uses OpenGL). Just Compiz totally fails
because it checks if you've software rendering...

I post this because it may be helpful for other users that have the same
problem...
