I booted my system with a usb-stick containing the 13.04 release
kubuntu, and I was surprised that graphics worked well.

from there I was able to see the kernel.log from the last build which said
kernel: [   22.252617] radeon 0000:02:00.0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 
10000msec
kernel: [   22.252627] radeon 0000:02:00.0: GPU lockup (waiting for 
0x0000000000000003 last fence id 0x0000000000000001)

So I did further investigations and tried booting my system with the kernel 
option radeon.no_wb=1. this resulted in the same graphics quirks.
then I tried booting with radeon.pcie_gen2=0 which resulted in proper graphics 
but some lockup so I was not able to login.

then I added both options which gave me a working system, kwin opengl
effects working nice (at it was with the latest 3.5 kernel).

I'm going to add the 2 options to my grub but I'm still curious that
booting the live system from the usb stick caused no problems at all.
