Me too with a Radeon M6 LY.

Exactly the same issue here. However, I got it almost working with CVS
versions from yesterday. It worked when I didn't start metacity. I
updated to latest CVS and I can't get ride of this "half" screen issue :(

Same here with my Radeon M6 LY. EXA is a lot slower than XAA :/

I'm currently updating an old Gentoo install to try this on a nVidia card.
