It is working fine for me also with:

 lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee
ATI RV370 [Mobility Radeon X300] [1002:5460]

lsmod|grep radeon
radeon                788284  2
ttm                    46763  1 radeon
drm_kms_helper         28941  1 radeon
drm                   180042  4 ttm,drm_kms_helper,radeon
i2c_algo_bit            4583  1 radeon
i2c_core               16943  4 drm,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,radeon

pacman -Q xorg-server xf86-video-ati
xorg-server 1.13.0-4
xf86-video-ati 1:7.0.0-1

I use kdm and kde runs fine with today's updates.

So I guess this must be specific to the original poster's graphics chipset
or particular setup?

Some additional information may need to be given on the bug reports
including log files if possible I guess.
