I've been sitting on this one for a while as I was just hoping it would
get fixed, but after trying the 21 alpha release its still an issue so I
thought I'd try get it some attention.

Anyway I have an issue that makes the open drivers unusable with my Radeon
6670. As soon as fedora boots up (including login and the screen with
the little fedora icon loading) I get a corrupt display. See the attached image.

Eventually this issue causes the system to freeze. The freezing happens
even quicker when booting a live image.

I have the same problem in Ubuntu so its not only a Fedora issue but I
solve it there running Catalyst. 

I've also tried to find reports of people having the same issue but
haven't found any. The card is a PowerColor Radeon 6670 1GB.

The card also works fine on windows with Catalyst.

Corrupt Display Screenshot

The display has red and sometimes light blue dots and lines through it. 

Also sometimes gui widgets get streached out arcoss the display when a window is moved or scrolled.
