I got more useful tips from the Xorg developers:

<airlied> bernie: there have been a few bug fixes against rv100 recently
<airlied> so if you can reproduce with 2.6.33-rc3 then we can probably tell
<airlied> or if you can get a dmesg
<bernie> agd5f: I found one bug that seems to match the symptoms:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22498
<agd5f> bernie: does turning off color tiling help?  Option "ColorTiling" "False"
<bernie> airlied: I asked our tester to install
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.20.20091221git4b05c47ac.fc12 and report back
( http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=149602 )
<bernie> agd5f: I don't have access to the machine any more... but I'll
suggest caroline to try this too. thanks for the suggestion


Installing an updated kernel on SoaS may be a little hard. Try first
thesuggestion by agd5f: put a line like this in the Device section
of /etc/xorg.conf:

 Option "ColorTiling" "False"

If there's no such file at all, create one with these contents:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "ati"
	Option "ColorTiling" "False"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Xorg server"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection
