Sorry for the long silence.  Could you test 3.0 or later from sid and
if it still exhibits the same problem, report to
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/, product DRI, component DRM/Radeon?

Even better would be to test a recent kernel from squeeze, too, so we
know whether to look for a fix to backport. :)

Thanks,
Jonathan
