I experienced similar problems with an ATI radeon 7500. On debian i managed to overcome them by installing the xlibmesa3, xserver and xlibmesa-dev packages from http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/
- compiling radeon.o from the drm-trunk-module sources on that site (he has
them for i386 and ppc). But being a lousy hacker I screwed those up prety fast whilst upgrading some other stuff... + i never got the radeon TV-out to work (Gatos and others didn't work for me).
Now I'm on Redhat 8 with the Planet CCRMA packages and low latency kernel. I threw out the radeon and got me a relativly cheap nvidia 440 MX. Nvidia offers linux drivers on their site >> They were realy easy to compile + install (although the dl-ed kernel-package is compiled with 2.95, compiling the nvidia drivers and module with 3.2 worked just fine) and give me nice 3d support,tv-out and twinview (dual screen / 1 desktop >> pd-patch on my monitor + gemwin on the TV-out). info : http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/ And Gem didn't segfault since...
hope this helps someone,
kurt

hi !
i think it is probably radeon module which i successfully installed but after some problems.. i remember that it failed on other modules but radeon seemed to go well... donno...
i agree, that i sounds like the problem is with your drivers. well, have you tried the "vesa" module ? it's very generic and works for my radeon on my notebook (though, of course, performance is not sufficient)
