I have a similar problem.

When X starts it is often garbled and unusable.

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace might cause the system to freeze.

However sometimes with I flick between the tty console on Ctrl+Alt+F7 the X screen redraws correctly.

My Thinkpad T30 uses a Radeon mobility too.

I am using Ubuntu dapper, so it's not KDE specific IMO.
