I'm still trying to get more information regarding #1 and #2, especially since 
they don't seem to occur deterministically 

regarding #3, I can workaround it by enabling option "SWCursor"; but that 
causes nasty square artifacts around the pointer;
afaik, using VESA is not an option on powerbooks, but I've attached the lspci 
-vvnn output for the mean time

btw, while playing around with radeon options I found out that using 
 Option         "DepthBits"     "16"
in combination with a screen depth of 24 is a bad idea... it causes major 
disturbances on the whole display as soon as I start glxgears... ;-)

as for the "MacModel" fix, in case you are referring to

that's already part of the current gutsy xorg-xserver-video-ati
6.7.193-1ubuntu1; alas the radeon driver still cannot initialize the
external TMDS, thus I need to have the DVI panel attached while booting
up, so that openfirmware can initialize it for the radeon driver...
