I'm not an Ubuntu package maintainer but a backport to Lucid is probably unlikely as it would fall outside the definition of an SRU. You can monitor the package status at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /xserver-xorg-video-ati You will probably need to keep using the PPA you mentioned in

So I suppose it's the driver version because the problem is gone now. I used this PPA - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates to update the X.Org packages and there the only update that actually matters is the radeon driver version which is 6.13.1. Solved with: kernel -

Hmm, interesting. This sounds a bit like John Bridgman's comment which I pasted in the first part of comment #6. I have a Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb. I'm using KMS and can play videos fine so there must be more to this than just colour tiling. It would be interesting to know what the difference is

I'm going to wait a little. Now the system is running without KMS support and the performance is pretty much the same as in Ubuntu 9.10. I'll retest with xorg ver. 1.9 and Kernel ver. 2.6.35 when they're pulled in the Ubuntu Maverick repo. Thanks for your efforts, madbiologist! -- [radeon

It's worth a try. Besides the initial Radeon power management support (more of that coming in 2.6.35), kernel 2.6.34 includes several other Radeon DRM changes, including this one: commit c9ff04c941d2cd87d27496d7fee8923238bb2ebb Author: Jean Delvare Date: Tue May 11 14:01:45 2010 +1000
