Same problem. Very frustrating.

Fresh install of 11.04 64-bit. Card is GeForce GTX 550Ti. Activated the recommended driver on first boot using Additional Drivers tool, set the default UI to Classic Ubuntu. No sign of compiz anywhere and Additional Drivers showing "The driver is activated but not currently in use."
