opps! I spoke to soon. I have found the cause of the issue. It is DRI!!

I had to force ably enable the composite extension. Now this is counter intuitive since ATI does not support composite, however by doing so the xorg log file indicates that the driver detects that composite is on and disables DRI and then everything works fine.

However if I set composite to "off" then I get the screen corruption and hard freezes.

Hope this helps.
