You appear to be using x11-drivers/ati-drivers. Please post the version of that package that you use. Also tell us which ATI graphics device you are using.

This bug is independent of ati-drivers version.
In bug description I mentioned that I'm using ati-drivers-8.522 but the same behavior is with x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.542

Hi,
you can probably close this bug report.
I don't have this problem any more, because I have switched to ati open source driver.
So, I cannot verify the problem.
