I can confirm that setting AccelMethod to XAA stopped the flickering. Haven't tried setting "MigrationHeuristic" to "greedy", or downgrading yet. I'm trying to figure out the speed differences from Intrepid xserver. FWIW, I'm getting the same fpu rate from glxgears, not that that's the most accurate measure of anything. But it's comparable now to what I had before.

koid@luyipa:~$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
5741 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1148.090 FPS
5983 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1196.553 FPS
5976 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1195.048 FPS
6100 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1219.956 FPS

Thanks for the workarounds for now.
