Enlightenment weird refresh I think

Hey guys, I just finished up a fresh install of Arch. I have the open source ati driver installed with the enlightenment desktop running after I startx. Everything seems to be working normally except that my screen is doing some kind of weird refresh rate thing in a circle around the top center. It makes me think of one of those old tube monitors except without straight lines and not quite as bad. I tested with the xorg before installing enlightenment and it didn't do this.

So my question is, is this due to enlightenment or the open source driver? and how do I fix it?

EDIT: I tested xorg again with enlightenment installed. It ran with no problems. It would seem that the issue is with enlightenment. Any ideas on how to fix it?

In enlightenment, try switching between the software and OpenGL engines and see if it changes. (Settings Panel | Look | Composite | Engine)

I tried that. Should the screen go black when you do that or does the screen stay on?

It goes black as far as I remember.
