 i see some corruption on a radeon hd 4670 card with konqueror menus, that
 goes away with i disable radeondrm.  however, then the card performance
 is absysmal there, and i have no Xvideo.
 
 i bet this is the same problem.  it's on my list of things to deal with.
 
 thanks for testing all these combinations and reporting the results.
