Lucid alpha 2 and 3 display the notifcation windows fine on what lspci identifies as "Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]" (ThinkPad T30). However, checking X.0.log shows that the X server is using EXA, not XAA. This may explain the slow performance some people are noting. I was unable to force XAA using an xorg.conf. Bug #513956 suggests that XAA still exists, however, and is being used for some cards.
apinunt: the "fix" is to the release notes, describing the problem, not fixing it.
