OK, I think I found the ultimate workaround. :)
If you hate running randr all the time, as much as I do, you can try
this:
1.- Make sure your 'Section Device' contains this:

2.- Add the following section:
Section Monitor
Identifier TV
Option
install.
UXA fixes all the bugs of the previous driver: Display corruptions and X
freezes. Plus, it doesn't introduce _any_ bugs.
So, I'd really recommend it to you.

3D games, used 3D effects, etc).

anymore, window transparencies don't work anymore, etc).
