I don't like being just a "Me, too!", but the question I have is whether the problem here is Unity, some other library, or the NVIDIA drivers. I'm trying to use Blender on my dual boot HP notebook, and noticed that the Nouveau drivers work better in two main ways:
- Unity 3D works
- HIbernate, suspend and other power management features work!

The only issue is that the performance isn't great, and I get artifacts
when I do certain things in Blender. I also get some graphics corruption
after a power management resume.

Because of this observed behavior, I'm inclined to think that real problem lies in the drivers, and as such, perhaps this thread should be forwarded to their Linux support forum. I could not find any mention to these issues in their forums:

After struggling with other things, it's a shame that these cards don't
work right. They seem to be quite common "in the wild". I hope that they
(the Unity team or NVIDIA) can get these issues worked out. Everything
else is quite solid for me (running 11.04).
