Well, unless you're using a very similar desktop environment in Debian
and used the Ubuntu system in exactly the same way (as much as
possible), you might just have happened not to hit the bug with Ubuntu.
Otherwise, it might be interesting to isolate how Ubuntu fixed this in
which package(s) (most likely xserver-xorg-video-radeon, libdrm or the
kernel).
If you can change the amount of video RAM in the BIOS setup, have you
tried whether increasing it helps?
