I also see this. Apparently there is a fix in the cvs tree of the DRI code, but I haven't bothered to track it down and install it, on account of only having a small amount of the disk set aside for Linux. I think if you do a search in the DRI mailing list archives for RADEON M6 LY you might find a discussion of it. I was hoping that it would be fixed in an update some time.
