Thanks, Jerome. So, Michal H, there's no need to file a bug for this.
Thanks for reporting it, though.
I'm using these packages now and it's much better (speed is much better,
rendering is (still) not at 100 % ) :
kernel, libdrm, mesa from koji
xorg-x11-drv-ati with sources updated to radeon's git snapshot
feel free to ask if you need some testing, logs, ...
