Thanks for responding so quickly, Alex.

Passing "radeon.modeset=0" to the kernel does remove the corruption.

Setting "EXANoDownloadFromScreen" "true" in xorg.conf ALSO fixes the
corruption.

I tried both fixes independently, rebooting each time. They both work, though
without KMS obviously my boots are uglier.

I haven't tried disabling KMS *and* the EXA option at the same time -- you want
me to try it?

(Also, it may be my imagination, but enabling EXANoDownloadFromScreen feels
like it's making my system a little slower. Like things are drawn slowly. I
only feel like something's happening because I'm running off an SSD, which is
making me sensitive to anything that's not an instant response. Or I could be
crazy, and there's no actual difference. Does this option actually affect
desktop performance?)
