I have the same hardware and, as I reported here recently, this bug is solved
with UXA:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting

UXA works perfectly here. Just add that line to you X config, reboot and enjoy
your Ubuntu install.

UXA fixes all the bugs of the previous driver: Display corruptions and X
freezes. Plus, it doesn't introduce _any_ bugs.

So, I'd really recommend it to you.
