Here's an exert from my XF86Config-4 file:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ATI Radeon"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    Driver      "radeon"
#    VideoRam    32768
    # Clock lines


    # Uncomment following option if you see a big white block
    # instead of the cursor!
    #    Option      "sw_cursor"
   =20
    Option      "AGPMode"  "1"
    Option      "DPMS"  "on"
EndSection

Try that and see if it works better.  Also, I'm using the driver from
XFree86-4.2.0-10mdk if that makes any difference (probably).  In
addition, I used Mandrake's XFDrake to configure it.  Good luck.
