You said you were using the open source driver.If you are using the proprietary driver, you would have to file a bug report with AMD. This may or may not be responded to.
I was having a problem with my new HD 6450 card that the package maintainer helped me with very quickly. A couple of e-mails and it was humming along.
As an FYI for anyone using video cards, it seems the latest thing is move some of the code to the kernel, removing it from the xorg-server-video driver. This means that I needed a kernel module in addition to the xorg driver. Once installed and loaded, the video worked great. This is probably only an issue when you change video cards and the correct module doesn't get loaded.
