Comment 73 for bug 771788

I can also confirm this bug. I am running Kubuntu 11.04 64 bit. I have an Nvidia 9600m GT. Effects seem to be working, albeit, a little more sluggish than I remember in Maverick. Under Jockey, (version current) [recommended] "This driver is activated but not currently in use". I ran glxgears and reports back 2300 but seems a little sluggish. Under Nvidia X Server Settings, it reports that I am using driver ver. 270.41.06. "sudo lshw -C display" gives me this:

*-display

Also of note, I remember during the fresh install of Kubuntu, it hung through the install. I also installed Compiz and is unusable, Emerald won't load using compiz-fusion-icon. This didn't happen in Maverick. "grep drv\.so /var/log/Xorg.0.log" gives this:

"unity_support_test -p" will not run, since this is KDE.
