Red dots appear on screen after 3D acceleration (ATI Radeon 9600)

I'm having problems with ATI Radeon 9600 128MB, Xorg and xf86-video-ati drivers. As the topic says, red dots appear on screen after 3D acceleration:

^ those red dots appear randomly everywhere: in pictures, GTK-apps, Terminal etc. They dissappear if I move windows, but new ones appear. I have latest Xorg and drivers from Arch i686 repositories. Here is my xorg.conf (generated with Xorg -configure). I'm not having this issue in Windows XP with Catalyst drivers.

Any solutions?

xorg.conf is rarely needed nowadays, rename it to xorg.conf.radeon or something similar, and try running X while xorg does the
configuration.

If the problem persists, post your latest xorg.log

I renamed xorg.conf. I also noticed that red dots appear even if I haven't run any software that uses 3D acceleration.
If I run Xorg with "vesa" driver everything works fine (except 3D acceleration).

It must be something in x86-video-ati drivers?

Here's my Xorg.0.log
