If it helps, you are not alone.  I also could not make much progress
with 4.3.  Worked fairly well with the 4.4.0 binary from XFree86.org. 
This is on an eMachines laptop with Athlon 64 3000+ and ATI Mobility
9600 with 64MB. I just installed Mandrake 10.0 RC1 last night, and the
version of X shipped with that supports this card.  I guess they've
backported the radeon driver from 4.4.
