Screen goes weird pixel art after sleep mode

The issue is consistent after a while spent in sleep mode. Weird colored squares are scattered all over the screen.

I can't get into terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1-7, it just redraws the weirdness after a while.

System Information:
    Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Inspiron M301Z  v. A03

 lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D

produces the following result:

 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250] 

While having these troubles, I SSHed into the machine, so here are the relevant logs (I suppose):

I tried installing xf86-video-ati, but it didn't change anything. There is also xf86-video-vesa installed.

This is not my laptop, so I only have a consistent access to it via SSH.

Any ideas?
