Text is jumpy when typing

[Elizabeth K. Joseph]

When typing (in terminal, abiword, etc) the cursor tracking the text sometimes does a visual backspace so ends up feeling a bit "jumpy" and makes it very difficult to type.

VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320]

Can attach any logs as needed, just let me know.

Running Xubuntu.

Quick follow-up, gathering replies w/ card specs from other testers and folks who reported on our G+ feed:

Laptop - ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 5870 - Useable, text input is very laggy.

AMD Athlon2 X2, Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphic card: too much lag when typing. Otherwise, display (fonts, icons, etc.), sound and mouse behavior are perfect.

Ati mobility Radeon 4000 family. Hp g42 notebook: At one point when i pressed a letter it printed on the screen only when the next was pressed. Same with back space and space.

In addition I noted that when booting back into current saucy - the login screen was corrupted with an 'echo' of parts of the xmir session

Other than that - the video referenced above could have been made by me.
