Hi,

I'm now running kernel 2.6.29.3 in Kubuntu Jaunty and the problem is
definitely gone.

To try it, just download and install (with dpkg -i) the following packages:
   linux-headers-2.6.29-*_all.deb, linux-headers-2.6.29-*_i386.deb and linux-image-2.6.29-*_i386.deb
from:
   http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.3/

Don't forget to re-enable compositing by changing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to:
Section "Extensions"
        Option          "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

I've tried most KDE desktop effects and they perform beautifully.
Video is very smooth with no flickering nor glitches.

My card is an ATI X1600PRO (RV530).
