Radeon DRI Problems after latest X.org 7.3 update

Hi all,
Ever since I updated to the latext X.org 7.3 ports, my DRI support for
my ATI Radeon rv350 card no longer works well. Previously, I used compiz
as my window manager (with patch available here to drm kmod:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11870). Under X.org 7.2,
this had been working fine ever since I got around the FreeBSD kernel
module issue above.
Now, I can run it, but I get a large amount of on-screen artifacts and
visual glitches. From what I can tell, if I have multiple windows open
(and the "desktop" window from nautilus does count) the non-foreground
windows seem to get their visuals destroyed and replaced with scaled and
faded versions of whatever the current foreground window is. I *am*
using the fade effect in compiz, which makes the non-focus windows
appear slightly translucent.
In addition, I reverted back to metacity (no composting) and I have
tried to run glxgears. I get a serious amount of visual glitches all
over my screen. Last time I tried this, my xserver crashed out (signal
11). I'm running gdm, so it is revived after a crash.
I am curious if others are experiencing similar woes with the new
updates, or if anyone has a solution.
