Checking everything mentioned there, all seems correctly set up, from using
the "nopat" kernel parameter, having the card's memory listed correctly
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to having the correct line in /proc/mtrr.
After all, the card _never_ gave problems like the ones mentioned, it runs
very stable and performs well, although I use a "slightly" newer driver
and kernel.
  fglrx 12.43 (if I could gather that correctly) and kernel 3.3.2.

Funny, it's kind of difficult to find out the driver's version - they hide
it quite thoroughly everywhere one might look, the only hint I could find
is listed in a /proc/ file. It took me some time to get it working in
conjunction with the version 3 kernel, also, as there were some
incompatible kernel modifications at some point that broke the module build.
Fortunately, I could locate some patches, and one of them did work,
although it was quite difficult to apply.
Not really customer friendly, AMD's showing here...
