I just did a fresh install of 11.10 on my HTPC and I'm using Gnome classic. I have an nVidia graphics card (GeForce GT 430), which I know to work just fine on several versions of Ubuntu. I've tried installing both of the drivers available in Jockey as well as the Nouveau driver. Can't enable compiz no matter what I do, and there are no error indications when I type compiz --replace ccp in the terminal. Metacity compositing works fine though.
