Hi

Same hardware here :
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

Same issues : 
- 1px white line at the botton of the screen as soon as the module is loaded
- tinted transluency is pink (when effects/composite are enabled on KDE)

But I also noticed this additional issue :
- When i disable effects in KDE, the title bar & border of the windows is 
missing, or corrupted, and not refreshed (see screenshot with konsole). Should 
I file another bug for this one ?

I noticed that whenever I disable KMS none of the three issues stated above 
appear.

That's the way I disabled radeon KMS:
- comment out the following line of /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
    options radeon modeset=1

- add one of these parameter to the kernel boot options (in grub)
    radeon.modeset=0
or
    nomodeset


xserver-xorg-video-radeon v 1:6.13.1-2
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686  v 2.6.32-21
firmware-linux            v 0.26


Best regards
Fabien
