I've heard that this may also be a kernel bug, but not 100% sure.

I neglected to mention that for 3D work (eg. the Unity Desktop) you will need the corresponding fix in mesa 10.0.2. This fix is also available in the xorg-edgers PPA at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

The final piece of the puzzle is the corresponding fix that has just been released in xf86-video-ati 7.3.0 (xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu) - see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2014-January/056338.html

xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu1 has just been added to Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" repositories.
