I have the exact same card with the exact same problem. Switching once or twice
fixes the problem. Killing the server and restarting it (runlevel 5) helps also.
BUT I use the framebuffer console and it happens from time to time that the
display jitters in this same way when the kernel boots (kernel 2.4.20 vanilla).
So I suspect there's a bug in either :
- the kernel radeon framebuffer
- the XFree radeon driver
- both.
I'll try to boot with framebuffer de-activated for a time to see if the problem
stays. Currently, my notebook serves as a desktop computer and I can't reboot
it at will. Will try to find a slot in the WE...
Here is lspci -vvvv for this card :
