Has anyone here heard about it? Whats the state of this in modern drivers?

If you run a pure openbox as described by HoaS in #17, do the artifacts persist ?
Yes, the artifacts do persist.
Does it make a difference under pure openbox if xf86-video-ati is installed or not ?
The behaviour with the package removed is equal to the one I described #9.

Do I understand you correctly that this is not an option if I'm using OpenBox as a WM for the Mate DE?
I'm not sure about Mate but for testing you can run bare openbox (or some other simple wm). I haven't run a DE for a long time and am unfortunately completely out of touch with them.

Okay I've done that now. I have also switched back and forth between the default WM and OpenBox with Compositing disabled, but the artifacts sadly persist.

I've tried removing that package which led to my screen looking similiar to this picture:
Yeah, just wanted to see if modesetting handles it. I use it on many ancient computers.
If you run bare openbox, could you also try running picom with the glx backend (optionally with vsync enabled but that's probably not relevant). I have an old intel system where picom (which I run anyway with i3 for tearfree) fixes a similar issue.

startx /usr/bin/openbox-session

Wouldn't that already be disabled because I am using openbox now?

Not very surprising since your card was manufactured before modesetting existed.
This could have to do with compositing Window Managers, can you try with a non-compositing WM like openbox or twm ?
I've now installed openbox and configured Mate to use it, but the Problem persists.
Have you customized your Mate environment? Do you remember if this problem was there before messing with the window options?
I have not performed any customization.
]]>I actually had the exact same problem with one of my KDE-PLASMA desktops, and the problem was in one of the options that I had enabled in the effects tab.
I can't recall the option (maybe window animations while moving them) but disabling it was fixing the problem.

Check this video, maybe you can find and disable an option that is causing the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJI1iW6o_s4
You can try asking in the mate subreddit as well. /r/mate
I got the solution for my KDE problem from the KDE plasma subreddit.

Maybe it might worth investigating it. Check this as well.
