I ran a fresh install of the ubuntu amd64 20110414 daily build, and the situation for beta2 is similar to beta1.
* Nouveau driver seems to work OK, classic gnome interface only, as its unaccelerated
* nvidia driver has issues on this Dell Inspiron 530 with the nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (C61) chip.

The current behavior is:
  * most application windows draw as solid white
  * gnome terminal is readable ordinary size, but solid white maximized
  * firefox windows are solid white, both ordinary and maximized. However, if I use Alt-D to type url stuff, the search completion overlay is visible, while the main page canvas remains solid white
  * 5 minutes of opening and closing apps and maximizing and minimizing windows didn't produce a lockup

So it improved, but not to the point of being usable. If anyone wants particular log files or experiments, please ask.
There are no exciting error messages obvious in /var/log{syslog,kern.log,Xorg.0.log}.
