Yes, probably the video memory was not enough. With Visual effects = Normal and the following xorg.conf I don't have any problems:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "laptop_device"
 Driver "ati"
 #Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
 Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
 EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "laptop_screen"
 Device "laptop_device"
 DefaultColorDepth 16

 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 16
  Virtual 1024 768
 EndSubSection
EndSection

Does not mather if the acceleration method is XAA or EXA. Both are good.

I had problem playing videos with totem but in a bug tracker I found the solution how to set the gstreamer-properties for a good result.

No freezes for a while, notification messages are readable. Thanks for helping me out. This bug can be closed.
