Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
http://
Sometimes an area of the screen get somehow freezed. It means that if I open a new window the unrefreshed area hides it. It is very annoying, because the only way to get rid of this is the restarting the xserver with ctrl-alt-backspace.
I have not noticed this issue if I start the ubuntu in low graphics mode (VESA driver).

Today I have faced with the similar issue in low graphics mode (VESA), so it is possible that the problem's source is not in the xorg ati driver.
