I am already on XAA, to avoid another regression with Icedove and 
Iceweasel with black/grey zones.

history |grep DDX
   215  aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE
   222  aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE
   501  history |grep DDX
root at vinci:/etc/ati#

I am running 10.6, the last good version. Would the 10.6 log be useful? 
Upgrading and downgrading again would take about 10 minutes.
