black spaces and spots displaying in various parts of the desktop

[Alberto Dolcini]

1) Ubuntu 9.04 x64
2) - (I think it's related to the Ati driver, not sure about it)
3) After I installed the Ati restricted driver (for Ati 4850) lots of black dots and especially black stripes started to appear on the screen. I removed Compiz (which causes other problems anyway) but the glitches continue pop up here and there. Sometimes they disapper quickly, sometimes it seems like they're sticked to the desktop, and clicking or moving the mouse over there doesn't resolve anything. After a few seconds they vanish anyway.
