I've uploaded an updated cairo package to the PPA. Thanks to everyone who posted their results, we're apparently fine as far as the closed-source drivers are concerned. I will try to get the necessary driver fixes upstream. As for cairo and mozilla, both upstream projects are aware of the issues and are planning to go this route eventually [1,2], but it's unlikely to happen in time before jaunty because they have no way of checking whether the X server is using buggy drivers. Since we can make sure that all the drivers shipped with ubuntu are fine, we can enable those fixes earlier to get faster and better-quality scaling.
