Public bug reported: Upon freshly installing Natty and moving all the /home data from a Maverick install, GLX acceleration no longer works. When I login with either the Unity or Ubuntu Classic, the screen will change, sometimes even showing the unity panel. However, it freezes and it unresponsive to clicking (but the mouse will move). Using the "Ubuntu Classic (no effects)" works fine. I have a Nvidia 7300 GS and I am using the Nvidia binary driver (the plymouth one has horrible corruption on the Ctl Alt F1-F6 consoles).
This is a regression; glx acceleration used to works fine on Maverick. I avoided Natty for this machine because of it's use as a web server and router for my house--I needed it to work, and didn't want to spare the downtime for testing. (I am now running Natty though, but not with acceleration). I have tried to describe the bug the best I can, but if you need me to try/test something more I will.
