I have one too and Quake3 causes a panic when a level is loaded since the upgrade to Xorg 7.2. My radeon mobility 7500 doesn't have this problem, however there are many visual problems (flickering textures) since the upgrade. And on both xrandr is unable to detect the available resolutions, which is inconvenient, because I use it in many scripts and it is used by wine and prevents the starting of Diablo 2. Anyway, what I want to say is that Radeon support has clearly suffered.
