I've recently installed compiz and I am unable to get it to work correctly. When I run fusion-icon from the terminal I get a screen with garbled windows, not just the decorations but also the content of said windows. I've provided a screenshot.

I am using the radeonhd driver (4870 card) and followed the directions in the beginner's guide as well as the compiz-fusion wiki article. I also ran the compiz-check and it gave a warning about the driver not being on the white-list.

Wow, that is one hell of a rendering issue. It only does it when your running Compiz instead of ur built in decorator? First thing i would do is run ccsm and enable what you want pre running compiz instead of your decorator. If that doesnt work, review your xorg.conf file. Make sure you have enabled everything that you need. I have an nvidia card and some of those options include TripleBuffer and Compositing. These options would also be in your radeon driver control center. The driver your using, is it the Arch Repo driver? You should see if AMD made a linux compatible driver and build and use that. I notice in general on my Nvidia card that using the repo driver isnt as good as the driver Nvidia has, however Arch's repo driver for my card is win.
If you dont mind, could you give us what DE your using, specify if its KDE-mod or KDE if its one of them, also give me the output of lspci -vv for just your gfx card, and finally an output of your xorg.conf file would also be lovely.

EDIT: I installed xf86-video-ati drivers and all is well, perhaps it has something to do with xf86-video-radeonhd?
I'm using Gnome as well as the xf86-video-radeonhd drivers from the repo. The wiki warned of the catalyst drivers so I decided to go with the repo available ones. Perhaps I should try the catalyst (official ATI) drivers.
This only occurs after I enact "fusion-icon" not during regular gnome-session.
