Verified that with no xorg.conf file it loaded with XAA.

Enabled compiz and adjusted xorg.conf to have (with still using radeon.modeset=0):
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Configured Video Device"
        #Option "RenderAccel" "off"
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

This does fix the screen corruption, but X is painfully slow. Eg, resizing a firefox window with nothing else open takes seconds.
