I also have an rv280 that I have been having problems with. I'm curious
if you are using kernel or user space mode setting, and what you have in
your xorg.conf (if anything).

My experience is:

KMS: 3D works but is slow, 2D is so slow it is unusable (can't even
watch a low-def youtube video, for example).

UMS: 2D and 3D both work at expected speeds (XAA is a bit faster than
the default EXA), but 3D often completely locks up the computer - can't
even SSH to it.
