Great! I just mentioned EXA because it indeed solved this issue for me.

You can safely forget about it now though, because EXA support was added to
radeonhd in version 1.2.2 and is enabled by default since version 1.3.0
(cf. [1])

The versions available in Debian (amd64) are:

xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd |    1.2.1-2 |        stable | amd64, i386
xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd |    1.3.0-2 |       testing | amd64, i386
xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd |    1.3.0-2 |      unstable | amd64, i386

and 1.3.0 was accepted to unstable on the 08.01.2010 and migrated to
testing three days ago \o/

This means that i can finally remove the EXA line from my xorg.conf!
Forgive me my not completely up-to-date information and good luck. :-)
