Installed X11R7.5 and upgraded or recompiled any necessary component libraries so that X11 and KDE compile without error. After recompiling and reinstalling KDE-3.5.8 and then using kuickshow (part of kde-3.5.8 package) to view a jpg, the display output is scrambled - horizontal lines, random display patterns, distorted images from display memory - it is different every time even when viewing the same image. xorg.conf has selected Driver "radeon" - the specific driver that came with the X11 package was xf86-video-ati-6.13.0 ( which provides radeon_drv.so ). The problem only shows up with kuickshow - all other graphic display software ( gimp, digikam ...) work ok. kuickshow would not display any graphic image ( jpg, png, icons ...) properly. I downgraded to xf86-video-ati-6.12.192 - same problem. Downgraded further to xf86-video-ati-6.12.7 and now kuickshow displays properly. So some change incorporated after 6.12.7 is the problem.
Any chance you could bisect which specific commit caused the problem? Also what GPU are you using? Can you attach your xorg log and dmesg output? If you are using KMS, you need xf86-video-ati 6.13.x; 6.12.x does not support kms.
Sounds like this could be http://bugs.debian.org/448360 , a bug in imlib.

Working with the xorg.conf while using the xf86-video-ati-6.12.7, I set "AccelMethod" to "EXA" and the problem comes back. Turn it off which reverts to "XAA" and the problem goes away. This may be an issue with my specific hardware - an "ATI Radeon 9600 XL" - a six year old card. I do not have KMS enabled. I am attaching xorg.0.log which is the result with EXA and xorg.0.log.old with XXA where the problem does not occur. I plan on checking and enabling KSM , reinstalling xf-86-video-ati-6.13.x and then working with xorg.conf but this will take some time. Update - I have reinstalled xf-86-video-ati-6.16.x, a new kernel with KSM enabled and upgraded imLib with the same results reported above. I guess this is just adding to the knowledge base - it would seem this is just an issue with my specific hardware.

Thanks. The imlib bug I referenced is not specific to the hardware. Beware that your distro may not have the fix for it yet, AFAIK imlib upstream has been dead for a long time.
Did you tested with imlib fix pointed out by Michel in comment 2 ?
I can confirm that applying the patch from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448360 fixes the problem for me. I'm running openSUSE 11.4 on x86-64, using the Radeon driver (xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd). An earlier KDE bug report for this issue, with some further details, is at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251960
