I have Radeon cards on 2 computers, both r600 series. I couldn't get mesa 7.6 to work at all. 7.5.2 worked OK but Mesa 7.7 is excellent. I didn't comment on your problem because I don't install xscreensaver. I did have a problem with opengl apps locking up xorg hard, but it turned out it was a bug in the radeon driver that was related to the amount of memory on the video card.
