Blackbox Renders on Screen - Xorg/Ati Problem

Hi. I have a Dell vostro 1000 running Arch using the fglrx ati drivers. Occasionally there are two boxes that will appear on the lower right side of the screen. They are probably about 34px apart from each and other.
I just started a new X session, killed it, and returned to the one which had these black boxes and they disappeared. So is there anything I can possibly do to prevent this black boxes? Is there a way to refresh xorg or something like that?
They also disappear if I suspend the system. Go to the terminal and back to my X session doesn't help.

Thanks!

Re: Blackbox Renders on Screen - Xorg/Ati Problem

Add the following to the ATI device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Option  "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

For example:

    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Primary Controller"
        BoardName   "ATI Radeon Mobility X1400"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option  "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
EndSection
