Screenshot compilation that showing bug.

updating xserver-xorg-video-ati from stable version to the edge caused every other time text rendering corruption in desktop environments (gnome, xfce). But problem appears in places: in the taskbar, terminal emulators, file manager, pop-up text messages, drop-down menus, Chromium address field (in Firefox everything works properly) and etc.

Please attach your xorg log and dmesg output.  Also, any chance you could bisect?

I attach xorg log and dmesg output to the bug report. The same attached 
to e-mail.
I understand what do you mean about "bisect", but it takes a time to 
learn how to use git and bisect and testing driver.
Thank you for rapid respond.

Looks like the exact same thing to me, I see lots of output like that also.
