fglrx issue

I have Arch installed on a laptop (MSI notebook, Mobility Radeon X700 graphics). All works well--in fact very well except one issue. I have fglrx installed from the Arch repos and have it I believe properly configured: direct rendering is a go and compiz works like a charm.
Here is the problem. When I unplug my power adapter, the screen dims and flickers once. All seems well until you try to scroll with mouse wherein everything become garbled (e.g. a web page in firefox, icons in nautilus, you name it). The only way to recover is to logout and then back in.
Part of my xorg.conf is below.
Anyone else see this problem??

Re: fglrx issue

I think I solved my own problem. I had acpid installed; upon removing it the issue has disappeared.
