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.
