fonts garbled with 6.9.0 and Radeon 7500 (RV200) - culprit=exa?

[Dexter Filmore]

Hi, got a Radeon 7500 (RV200 chip) on my Slackware-current box, R6.9, kernel 
2.6.14.3, xorg.conf as below. 
Fonts are sometimes heavily garbled, sometimes changes when dragging a mark 
over them. 
Issue with 6.9 and radeon or because of exa?
