Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

After having updated to 11.04, Unity malfunctions because 3d effects aren't available. However, they worked on 10.10. Additional drivers says that the currently installed NVIDIA driver is "activated but not in use". On Appearance the visual effects tag is not available.
