The corruption you are talking about is, I believe, caused by a couple of things:
(1) we're not issuing enough fifo_wait()'s around our accel engine and pan register writes. (2) there's some disconnect between writing to fb memory, panning, and copyarea()/fillrect() calls
I sent a hack of a fix for this to Ben a week ago, adding a call to radeonfb_sync() at the end of radeonfb_copyarea() and radeonfb_fillrect(). This seems to fix the problem for me, but you *shouldn't* have to do this.
I haven't tracked it any further than this. My next guess would be auditing register writes and making sure there are enough fifo_wait()'s...
