Recently upgraded xf86-video-ati from version 6.13.2-1-i686 to version
6.14.0-1-i686 in arch linux.

when I open xterm, aterm, or eterm my x environment becomes scrambled and I can
not make anything out.  X does not freeze, and no errors are reported in the
log files or the tty display.  This problem occured using both fluxbox and
gnome.  Downgrading back to version 6.13.2-1.i686 solved the problem.

My video card is detected as:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R480 [Radeon X850Pro]
using lspci.
