10.4 runs fine here - although I'm reduced to the horror of installing directly from driver download rather than using emerge, at least until I find out what I broke. That's just laziness on my part though (dilligaf).
Do have some problems with shaders however. In particular, using floating point literals with smoothstep results in a syntax error, and there are some interesting problems with glVertexAttribPointer. This could of course stem from errors in my own code. Will have to investigate more.

Xv output seems to have improved too on my box. I do have TexturedVideo and TexturedVideoSync on in xorg.conf though, not sure it helps or not, anyway I had a hard time spotting a difference between VLC with Xv output and SMplayer with OpenGL on the same file.

Old ATI card == OSS drivers yeah!
New ATI card == crappy fglrx lock up glitch stutter slow down
Old NV card == NV binary driver works!
New NV card == NV binary driver works!
take your pick

@bridgman:
could you please ask the devs of catalyst / fglrx what "error 7" in libGL.so.1.2 means ?
I'm still getting it and have tried it meanwhile with all the different combinations I can think of
from 2.6.32 to 2.6.34-rc6
from gcc 4.3* to gcc 4.5*
from hardened to non-hardened
from amd64 to x86
from nopat to pat
from enabling to disabling uvesafb
...
nothing has helped
it HAS TO BE a kind of regression from 10.1 starting with 10.2, 10.3 to 10.4 which doesn't allow me to use compositing and 3D apps anymore on my system (gentoo unstable/testing)
many thanks in advance for your information

Of course the greens were ALWAYS a better team than the reds, even back in ancient history.
