I had the same problem when I had composite extensions enabled in xorg.conf.
The bundled ATi driver with Ubuntu (Breezy) doesn't support both 3D
acceleration AND composite extension. Have a look in /var/log/Xorg.log.0 for
any errors/warnings - it's spelled out pretty well if this is your problem.
FWIW, nVidia have been supporting composite extension with 3D acceleration for
a couple of months now, but ATi (as usual) are taking their sweet time to fix
this.
