Disabling AIGLX did not seem to solve the problem for me. I tried building the xserver-xorg-video-ati package from Hardy, but it had build dependencies on the newer xserver, so I abandoned that idea. I can confirm that installing the xserver-xorg-video-ati binary deb from Feisty works and allows 16 bpp without the problems listed here. The easiest way to downgrade is download the deb using your browser at packages.ubuntu.com and then open it with the graphical package installer. That is easier than adding a new repository and going through Synaptic or apt-get. It seems you will lose some xrandr support that is in the newer radeon driver, but I think that mostly concerns display hotplugging. If you do downgrade, select the package in Synaptic and use the package menu to lock the version or else the update notifier will constantly remind you that an update is available. If you do run into any problems, simply unlock the version and upgrade to restore the original drivers (and remember to change your xorg.conf back to 24 bpp).
