Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Upstream bug that we can't deal with. For now, add

Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

to your fglrx device section to clear it up.

Known problem with fglrx 8.41 and 8.42.

People have reported a 'fix' by adding:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

To their device sections in xorg.conf - maybe it'll work for you too. Other than that, nothing we can do to fix it.

I can confirm the bug and the workaround to it. This can be closed IMHO as this is a mainstream bug, not in archlinux package.
A warning could be posted in package install for this though.
