I think it has been mentioned before but it may be worth mentioning
again.

I have a Radeon HD 3650 chipset and experienced this bug which, in my
opinion, was a show stopper, within 6 hours of the official Jaunty
release. It did shake my resolve to stick with Linux and very nearly
reverted to Windows (sigh!). I only went exclusively Linux about a year
ago.

The only satisfactory answer, for me, was to install ATI latest driver.
It can be downloaded here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx .

This makes my Jaunty Kubuntu work like it should albeit marginally
slower than Intrepid Ibex version. I have not installed the suggested
PPA. I do use compiz and all is fine and with acceptable speed with the
latest driver (which I believe is different from the distro one).

I hope this may help somebody else.

It may help to post your experience with these drivers for other
problematic ATI chip-sets.

Michel
