I played around with it a little more.
The distorted background happens Only if you are using kdm.
It Does Not happen if you are using gdm.
Repeat..it Does not happen if you use gdm.
To me this says that the problem Is Not dri with the r128 but with kdm.
I have a feeling that even if dri is disabled the kdm login screen as
current still will not display properly with the r128.
