Comment 106 for bug 351186

It's unlikely that this patch will make it into the real jaunty packages (because of the graphics glitches, because this patch was initially a temporary hack that was not meant to be permanently added to the driver, and because our focus is on trying to improve the -ati driver so it works well for all users. It's hard to optimize for two different drivers at once and we also can't fix bugs in fglrx). The goal is of course to deliver _excellent_ performance though, just not using this particular patch and probably not using fglrx. This is a long term effort, various users might still need to use fglrx for a while for certain specific cards etc.

@omnius, I think you're right that the graphics glitches do in fact affect non-intel cards as well. I heard this from several people now.

@lesodk. To downgrade ALL custom packages from all PPA's back to stock jaunty versions you might be able to use these steps (Note: this will most likely uninstall all custom mods you have and it's a largely untested set of commands so I have no idea if they will work on your machine):

1. comment out the PPA from /etc/apt/sources.list
2. run "sudo apt-get update"
3. sudo apt-get -y install apt-show-versions
4. sudo apt-get install $(apt-show-versions | grep -v $(lsb_release -sc) | grep -v "No available version in archive" | awk '{ printf "%s/%s ",$1,$(lsb_release -sc) }')

Verify the list of packages it says it wants to re-install in step 4, the list of packages to re-install should be all the X server related packages you see if you click the little arrow next to "xserver-xorg" on the PPA page: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/xserver-no-backfill
