Is this a regression?  Did it work previously?  If so what version?  Also, please attach your dmesg and xorg log to the bug directly so they don't disappear if the pastebins do.

I don´t get your question w.r.t. regression... Could you reformulate/be more specific?

It is a Ubuntu saucy (13.10) mini installation for AMD64. The xorg version is 1.14.5. For testing purposes I have upgraded the kernel and xorg to a recent version, from the repository https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa. This did not solve the issue.

Did this work prior to a package update or on an older version of ubuntu?

Ok, clear now. It did not work right after I installed ubuntu 13.10. Then I did the update of the kernel and moved to the xorg-edgers repository. This did not solve the issue. I have no experience with versions of the OSS radeon driver in ubuntus before 13.10, since I always have been using fglrx till now. I could test older versions if this does help you.

jochemvissers@gmail.com, Ubuntu Saucy reached EOL on July 17, 2014. For more on this, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases .

If this is reproducible in a supported release, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg
