After installing the ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa the flicker seems to have been fixed. This leads me to conclude that the issue was caused by something done in the default Ubuntu install of X. However, it would be nice to see some of the changes with the 1.12 server and drivers to be brought into mainline

The slowness has been fixed with the latest updates to compiz, but the problem with it incorrectly reporting vesa as the driver is still present. The new fglrx 8.960 seems to be quite awesome.

I did try enabling "Force full screen redraw (buffer swap) on repaint" in ccsm did not aleviate any flickering and only caused more artifacts and screen glitching than before. Also, it isn't by any means exactly 5 min, and I believe that it is more based on usage. Sometimes the tearing will happen

Another note. After completely removing the xorg.conf file, at first startup the flicker dissapeared, and, again, came back after a couple of minutes of use.
