Tormod, do you have any advices/remarks on these options I've set in the xorg.conf? I based it on the radeon man file, having only the information written there.

Guys, you could also test KMS, I tried it on a desktop Radeon 7500 card and had some slight performance improvement.
It doesn't work on my laptop though.
Here you can add the test results: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/478493

enabling KMS is quite easy, its just a GDM shutdown, module reload, GDM restart as written in:
