Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

There are little purple flecks flashing across my screen and once in a
while a line shoots all the way across, as if I was watching a TV that
was getting some interference, but displaying a picture.  If I install
the fglrx drive (my video card is an ATI Mobility HD 3470), the purple
flecks and lines go away, but then it is not smooth when I move my
windows around (as i anticipated since ATI dropped support for my card
in fglrx a little while back).

I tried to screen shot the screen corruption, but the flecks do not
appear in the screen shots.
