Downgrade to 2.6.37.5/6 and confirm it's the kernel.
Then search for a bug, join the bug report, or file one.

I had some really horrible graphics with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 and 
open source ati driver since updating to 2.6.38.2. Luckily the latest xorg and 
newer ati driver is out. 

I will test it and take it from there.
