All of the recent ati-drivers seem to have a bug that corrupts
contents of some scrolling text windows.  It looks like this:

  http://www.visi.com/~grante/fglrxbug.png

Has anybody else seen this issue or know what to do about it?

  
Older versions of the driver that didn't have that bug won't
build for recent kernels and/or run under xorg 7.2.

The Xorg "radeon" driver doesn't have this problem, but DRI
support in that driver doesn't work for some of the programs I
run.
