Default OpenGL screen saver problem after ATI driver update.

I know I don't have the latest ATI drivers but I do have the latest on the ATI repo:

Repository: ATI Repository
Name: x11-video-fglrxG01
Version: 8.512-0.1

Repository: ATI Repository
Name: ati-fglrxG01-kmp-pae
Version: 8.512_2.6.25.11_0.1-0.1

Now it works fine until a OpenGL screen saver is active then I get this weird blue line strikes that start at the bottom of the screen and works its way up to the top and starts over again, as if it is a refresh problem or something. This problem did not start until I updated the drivers a couple of days ago and was wondering if there is something I can do other than to uninstall the RPM one and use the installer script from ATI. I have some pictures taken with my camera phone, which was hard to do because it only takes a second to go from the bottom of the screen to the top.






The third one shows this the best but you can see it in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
