Many thanks to Bryce Harrington for providing a solution. Running x64 Jaunty w/ ATI 3850 and ati driver version 9.6. No real sideeffects noticed so far. I should however note that the glxgears score has dropped (6800fps ->1500 fps) as was to be expected (Martin Olsson mentioned reduced 3D performance above).
Steps taken to apply solution. (This might not be the most correct method though ;) Imported key: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x643dc6bd56580ceb1ab4a9f63b22ab97af1cdfa9 (Thanks bitsteller) Amended the sources list following line using: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list by adding: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/xserver-no-backfill/ubuntu jaunty main Reloaded list in synaptics.
