Thank you, so here it goes...
@Alex: yes, 3D performance is okay.
I know glxgears is not a benchmark, but it
shows the same result on ubuntu livecd as on gentoo.
I think there is a newer card with similar name, radeon
7500, but this is the old one, ~7 years old, so I
can only use the open source "radeon" driver.

As you can see, I have a hardened system,
but on the gentoo-hardened list, the guys
doesn't have problems with 2D.
I also tried the relevant radeon driver options
in xorg.conf, but didn't help.
So, thank you all for your patience.
(Right now, I'm upgrading gcc and then
have an emerge -e world at night just to
be sure)
