I ran into this and posted a workaround about it here for fedora:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/fedora-ppc/2006-March/000816.html
I based this workaround based on the Ubuntu discussion here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/30426
Basically, Benjamin Herrenschmidt recommends "building the ati driver
from X.org ati-1-0-branch CVS branch". With that, I'm working in X
happily. I'll note that an alternative before that was to use the
"fbdev" driver instead of the "radeon".
