Can you try this patch?  Try uncommenting the following lines to see
if either of those flags work any better.  Try them individually and
together if possible and report back which, if any, helps.

/*pll->flags |= RADEON_PLL_PREFER_MINM_OVER_MAXP;*/

/*if (ASIC_IS_AVIVO(rdev))
        pll->flags |= RADEON_PLL_USE_FRAC_FB_DIV;*/

Thanks!
