Does any of the following have any impact on any of the symptoms?

      * Option "ColorTiling" "off"
      * Option "RenderAccel" "off"
      * Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS,NONE"
      * Option "UseFBDev" (will only have an effect if radeonfb is
        active in the kernel)
      * Disabling the DRI, i.e. not loading the "dri" module
      * Running at depth 16 instead of 24

Otherwise, did everything work fine with xserver-xorg 6.8.x? If so, can
you please also provide a log file from that.
