The described patch "xserver-no-backfill" works flawlessly for me on
- Ubuntu 9.04 / 64 Bit
- Lenovo T500 with a Mobility Radeon HD 3650
- Catalyst 9.6
I experienced no performance loss in normal office work (not having tried any "serious" 3D stuff though). But compiz works a lot snappier now overall, so I can fully recommend this patch.
