I installed 'xserver-xorg-videon-radeon' (not sure about other
packages).

Logs:

(==) RADEON(0): Using AGP 2x

The new 'radeon' driver correctly detects 2x. It doesn't seem to
freeze.

However, full-screen 640x480 mode is now a small display centered in
the full 1024x768 screen. Before it really switched resolution to
cover the full screen.
