From his post, 
        "Today I installed sid to check whether that bug was solved but
        no luck."

At the moment, experimental is more of a waiting ground for packages not
intended for etch, and anyway, installing a few carefully selected
packages from experimental is not dangerous. 

I did recommend Xorg 7.2 (the one in experimental) because the radeon
has seen quite a lot of development, especially for r300 (used for the
rv350 cards also I think) and might have fixed whatever problems he had.
