Definitely a driver problem. All artifacts are 8x8 which seems
to imply some problem with either the 8x8 pattern fills or the
pattern unit interfering with other operations. You could try
adding:
Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect"
to the Section "Device" of the XF86Config file. At any rate
somebody familiar with the Cirrus driver should look into it.
