Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I am not able to use Jaunty with my Radeon 9000 RV250 Graphicscard..
When leaving the default settings after install it takes only a few minutes or somtimes seconds then X freezes or goes Black.. Default means EXA and Composite enabled.. Even if I just disable composite (KWin), this Bug still apears..

Allthough if I manual swich the accelleration to use XAA by configuring xorg.conf and disable composite then I am able to use my Computer with out having any Freezes or Blackouts, if I use XAA and have composite (KWin) on it will freez again... But using KDE4 without composite is just no fun ;-)

So I dont know where this Bug acually belongs, so I guess in the Radeon driver..
With my other Computer, one with nvidia GPU and another one with intel GPU have no issues..
