This didn't work, I suspect the problem is with the driver though. I  
added the following line to my xorg.conf's device section (source 
http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd:INSTALL):

        Option          "AccelMethod" "EXA"
        Option          "DRI" 

This seemed to fix the problem somewhat but now scrolling in Firefox is very slow.
