I don't know the solution to the problem you are having, I can only give
some tips from experience. My first trouble shooting step would be to
use fglrx and see if it makes a difference. The you know if it's a
driver issue or not. You don't have to keep using fglrx, consider it a
debugging technique...
I do recall having issues with that card and xorg 7.0, but it was a long
time ago so I don't remember details. Whatever it was went away with
emerging 7.1 and using the latest ati-drivers.
Which wm do you use?
