Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
The comment at the end of bug 366224 said to open a new bug if I was having that issue, so here it is. The corruption shows up most readily in Firefox, but I've seen it in gedit and gnome-terminal as well. It looks like the attachment, though it's not there all the time, and it's not always as dense as it is there; that's just a particularly good example. I can sometimes make it go away temporarily by forcing the text to rerender--selecting and deselecting text, or paging up and down in Firefox.
