I think they've improved no end lately. There's a lot of work going into
the radeon driver, and it's often gives much better results than
randeonhd. So I'd suggest to the OP trying swapping to radeon. I'm not
sure about the 4350: could be a chip that the radeon driver doesn't yet
support, but worth a try.

They respond quickly to bug reports too.
