I upgraded one of my linux boxes from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. Everything went well but the Xserver wouldn't start. Turns out there's a big problem with ATI deprecating some graphics cards or something to that effect. My card is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro.
Solution:
- start Ubuntu in safe mode
- sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
- sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
- reboot
Other than that hiccup, Ubuntu 9.04 is indeed faster. The display is drawing much faster over VNC.
Good thing my other linux desktop is Nvidia.

try also resetting your X configuration. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
