Why are you disabling this? If the desktop environment (DE) you're using
(which is it?) supports compositing, that might alleviate the problem.

Disabling AIGLX isn't a good idea either. I don't think Option "DRI2"
has any effect.

Does commenting out these options help?

I recommend against disabling this.

This Virtual directive is unnecessary with KMS and causes the driver to
allocate at least twice as much VRAM as necessary for the front buffer.
Please try commenting it out.

The Xorg radeon driver doesn't support UMS anymore.
