xserver-xorg-video-radeon got upgraded to version 6.14.0-1, libgl1-mesa-* 7.10-4, and generally all of xserver-xorg-*, except xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd which got the axe (no surprise so far)
results:
* under compiz, none of the games I tried work. Compiz menus are fine, but some windows maybe fail to get redrawn (tested in slightly too much of a hurry). Games don't work (all of supertuxkart & warzone2100); all that shows is a mouse cursor while the opening music plays
* without compiz, these two games start, and the corruption I mentioned early on does not seem to appear anymore. Under supertuxkart, I was able to start a race and run a few meters (before I quit). Under warzone2100, the menus were perfectly clear and I could start a skirmish, with unmeasured but apparently pretty good fps, even when dragging the terrain around (right-click...drag&shake), all text appeared good.
In a nutshell, while there might be some fine-tuning with respect to compiz, there is very clear progress, and the specific defect I was complaining about simply vanished!
thanks
