Good news. I tried the Unity 5.0.0 staging PPA and am extremely pleased with the results. Now on today's daily build, almost everything is flawless. Scrolling is almost as smooth as it is on Windows 7, and window movement is fluid (when sync to vblank is disabled in compiz). However, after a while of use the window dragging becomes slightly choppy. It's annoying, but the desktop is perfectly functional and mostly acceptable at this point.
Verdict: apart from some window drag lag after some time of use, everything running is perfectly and much better than my Ubuntu 11.04 install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898963 Title: Desktop performance (2d) much worse than expected.
