@Dennis: are you using nvidia? This is an ATI X1200 specific bug...

>  noted below (so it seems not to be Ubuntu-specific).

>  The version of xserver-xorg-video-ati: 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 (default in

>  The software affected: Compiz (doesn't start because requires direct
>  rendering); then, Unity (just the wallpaper or black screen and the
>  mouse pointer). glxgears, Stellarium, Blender, Adobe Flash Player in
>  fullscreen mode and Visual module of Python work if software rendering
>  is forced (but of course they run very very slow).

>  The history of the bug: all worked as expected (out of the box) in
>  10.04, but in 10.10 the problems started. The workaround was to
>  disable KMS, but now, in Maverick, since the new Gallium driver
>  doesn't have a non-KMS mode, that workaround is not available. This
>  issue was reported when using 11.04 Beta 1 and Beta 2, then, in the
>  descriptions below there are some strange things (xorg crash during
>  startup, software rendering fallback), that don't occur any more. The
>  issue is just the description given here.
>
>  The exceptions: **sometimes** (??) the 3d acceleration does work as
>  expected, but at the moment there is no way for us to know when it
>  will work or not [help please!]. And, sometimes the 3d acceleration
>  work but is so slow that it seems to be actually software rendering.
>
>  The workarounds: `vblank_mode=0 glxgears` (or other program) gives
>  correct 3d accelerated output. `export vblank_mode=0` also allows to
>  start Compiz and 3d acceleration works after running that. That is
>  just a workaround and the problem is not solved yet.
