If you are not afraid of experimenting a bit you can try to add "deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main" to
/etc/apt/sources and then do an update/upgrade. You also need to install
the latest kernel from Karmic development. You can get the .deb files at
your local mirror. At least this solved the issue for me.

If you try to search a bit on launchpad.net you can find many reports
with similar issues. Some of the bugs have some comments added on what
solved the issue for them.
