Strange graphic glitches with ATI AMD Radeon R7 370 [solved]

Hi,

I have a bit of strange problem that came up within the last couple of days. I have an ATI AMD Radeon R7 370 in my desktop that has worked fine for nearly a year now. This week, I noticed that there are strange color glitches in certain areas and it's DE specifc in Arch Linux. In Mate, the icons (regardless of the set) have a substantial red hue to them. In Gnome, the desktop is black regardless of the wallpaper set, but the preview for wallpaper all have green hues on them (icons are fine in Gnome). LXQT works without any issues that I can see yet.

I thought maybe the card became defective, but as I said, it works fine in LXQT, as well as Ubuntu Mate, and Windows 10. I also tried the Arch LTS kernel thinking the drivers caused this (using kernel and Xorg drivers; not proprietary), but the problem persisted.

Throwing this out there in case anyone else has the problem. I'm not sure where to file a bug report yet. Will post screen shots later this week.

Thanks, that was it.

This solved it:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-libs-3.9.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/llvm-3.9.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
