You could try adding
    Option   "AccelMethod" "EXA"
to the Device section of your xorg.conf, it's supposed to work bette
than the default XAA.

Also, you might want to try with latest upstream git snapshot of the
driver. It seems to contain some fixes that could be related to your
problem. See http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html if you don't know
how to test this.
