I have the same problem with my radeon driver (well, problem, the point
size is just fine for me). It's also a radeon 4.3.99 driver. My card
(radeon IGP 340) is not officially supported and I'm using a patched
version of the driver so it is rather normal for me that some things are
not working. But i found a thread about a bug in the radeon driver at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13541.html

I have exactly the same symptoms as the people in the thread, and the
thread is pretty recent, so I guess this is the bug. There are some
links to patches for this. I haven't tested them since I already had
enough trouble getting my card to work and I don't want to break it now.
They say the patch will probably be in the 4.4 release.

Cheers,
Brecht
