linux radeon r600g graphical distortion

when playing minecraft with the opensource radeon (r600g) driver on a HD5850, I get this error in the console once in a while:

Client> radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information.

with this output in dmesg:

[drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Failed to parse relocation -12!

the screen is heavily distorted for a moment, except for a few objects which still display fine.
The other objects render over each other (as if you have a crashed program and move a different window over it and it keeps parts of the content from the other window)

I'm not exactly sure if this is a minecraft related bug, but as I only see this weird behaviour with minecraft and no other graphical application, I'm posting it here.

(The attached screenshot is from a modded minecraft 1.5.2 version with liteloader and weCUI; I wasn't fast enough to capture one when I tested it with vanilla 1.5.2 and 13w21a, but I can assure you that it happens there too)

This is a technical support issue; this site is for bug reports only. For technical support please use the Mojang Support Center.

this is NOT a technical suppot issue.

anyways, i made a thread in the support forum you mentioned and as expected nobody could help me. could you please reopen this and let the devs decide themselves? i may repeat myself, but minecraft is the only application where i get this glitch.

Come on. How should Minecraft throw kernel messages ?

Solved by using the AMD driver:

Switching from the radeon open-source drivers to AMD proprietary ones solved the problem for me.

because it sends an invalid gl commandstream to the in-kernel graphics driver!? it's a monolithic kernel ffs!
