Using step 2 from above and tweaking the radeon driver [Option "SwapbuffersWait" "on"] in the xorg.conf file solved this problem perfectly!
This issue has been bugging me for almost a full year since 11.10.
Now that we know that this is the problem and your fix works, is there any chance of incorporating this as a default value so that way the others with this same problem will not have to manually create and populate the xorg.conf file?
WoW!!!
