Yeah, same issue I had using newer drivers. I mistakenly said I was using 8-6.
I'm currently using the 8-3 drivers in the Ubuntu 8.04 repositories:
i    xorg-driver-fglrx 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.13-19.45
                                       ^^^
Using this I have the corruption on channel changes between
resolutions (SD-HD and back) but everything else seems to run fine.

cheers,
Owen.
