Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I get consistent and frequent glyph-corruption if I use bitmap-fonts (which are not anti-aliased) in Gnome-terminal. The corruption will almost always be triggered by moving/navigating the cursor over glyphs (thus temporarily inverting the colors). I have attached a screenshot which clearly shows the problem when editing a file in GNU nano.
Xorg driver in use is xserver-
Using Compiz.
Ubuntu 8.10 (fully updated, installed from RC).
Graphics card: ATI X1400 mobile radeon (R500), 128MB RAM.
I will attach the following:
* Screenshot which shows the problem
* Kernel log (dmesg)
* Output of 'lspci -vvnn'
* Xorg.0.log
* xorg.conf
If more information is needed, please say so. I am also willing and able to test new GIT-snapshots of the radeon driver, and provide feedback if problems are fixed, etc.

This corruption only occurs when running a composited desktop using Compiz. I've not seen it happen under Metactiy (with EXA).
