It is great that using the vesa driver instead of the radeon driver 
works for you.
I was wondering also about the possibility that all of the options that 
you used during install still being loaded in the /etc/grub.conf (linked 
file). Some of the options that you installed with might limit the 
functionality of your running system.
For example, if I install with the option ide=nodma it will be loaded in 
the grub.file when the install is completed. If I installed with acpi=on 
it would also be in the grub.conf file and would ensure the option is on.
I suppose that the install options are limiting your installed system 
somewhat regarding the video performance.
What does your grub.conf file have as options on the kernel line?
