I have not tried to downgrade to the older xserver. I don't even know the name of the PPA you would use to do that. I hope there is one, because if AMD doesn't update the legacy driver soon I'm going to want to do the workaround. Sure the FOSS driver plays videos and runs my display at full res, but I have to run CPU Mesa for 3D so I can't play a lot of games and Blender gets laggy on high-poly scenes. I want my fully functional fglrx.
