my xorg.conf is empty. if i add your lines the complete screen turns black the next time i login making kubuntu unusable.
Sounds like you didn't create a valid xorg.conf. Something like this should work:
Section "Device" Identifier "default" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" EndSection
or is this update available through the update center?
No idea, but there are PPAs.
