Strange, works for me - maybe you need the DPMS option on xorg.conf ?
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "SEC"
ModelName "4241"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Possible that it's not related, but I have a ThinkPad T43 (with a X300 Radeon mobility). I get a similar result when I activate the VGA output. I digg a bit and I figure out that changin my screen resolution solve the problem. (e.g. change it to 1024x768 and than change it again to the resolution you want).
I hope that it's help you.
The problem wasn't related to XBMC.

Have others been experiencing this problem of garbled graphics in full screen mode? At this point in time, is the only workaround/solution, to go back to Ubuntu 8.04 and use the Catalyst 8.9 drivers? It seems it's only a problem with Catalyst 8.10, whether you are using Hardy or Intrepid.

Andrewishy: Strange. It works for me. Perhaps we should compare our configuration files and check your Xorg logs?
2ALL: When you're modifying Xorg.conf, don't forget to check out /etc/ati/amdpcsdb file.
Settings specified in that file take precedence over Xorg.conf ones. Seems that nobody here knows about it.

I'm using 2 monitors, as my tv is the other side of the room and although its a 42" LG 1080p connected via HDMI i cannot read all the text so i have a 19" LCD plugged in to the VGA of the PC at the back of the room.
The resolution is set to 1920x1080 (full screen on the TV and the LCD moves around it (all this was automatically setup using the hardware drivers in ubuntu
The following is my amdpcsdb file

Ok, so explain this one to me. Just for the hell of it, I launched xbmc with "sudo xbmc" instead of "xbmc" and I now get full screen 720p without the garbage. I just rebuild the machine with Intrepid, using restricted drivers, no changes to xorg.conf or amdpcsdb.
This is also on a svn build 16104.
