Disable compiz, and try again. Also try messing around with vsync; if it's on turn it off and vice versa.

Ubuntu 8.10 uses a beta version of Catalyst 8.11 and that works with xorg 7.4. I had the same problem you have there, although only when switching between windowed mode and fullscreen with the \ button. If I start it fullscreen it works for me (try switching the mods when you see that screen). Same mainboard and ati chip. I think the problem might stem from the beta version of Catalyst 8.11 ubuntu is using atm, but I am not sure.
The underscan issue is fixable too - I just for the heck of it can't find the script I used to change the settings with the ati config tool. Try searching phoronix for underscan and ati, I know I found it there.
Edit: - changed overscan to underscan -
Edit2: - found the script -
#!/bin/sh
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,positionX:0
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,positionY:0
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,sizeX:1920
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,sizeY:1080

Pretty sure the script also works with 720p - if you change the resolution accordingly.
About the 100% issue: no idea, I changed primary PCs recently and haven't gotten around setting up the old one in my living room for htpc purposes yet. The tearing issues with the ATI card drove me crazy and led me to install XP on a second partition for the time being (hopefully this all will be solved end of this year with the xorg advancements and ati driver advancements). Maybe I'll get the chance to play around this weekend.
