AMD Puts Out Catalyst 11.4 With X Server 1.10 Support

Water in Shadowgrounds doesn't render properly with 11.4, though it's fine with 11.3 here (HD4670, openSUSE 11.4 64bit).
Note: I use High settings.
With 11.4 everything under the water's surface kind of jumps around. Deselecting "Distortion effect" in the advanced options at launch solves this (ironically), however liquid surfaces still seem to lack shaders.
I also tried unchecking "Catalyst A.I." in AMDCCCLE but got some weird artifacts, plus that only worked once for some reason.
Shadows were sharper with 11.3 too.

xvba/vaapi is totally broken on my card (hd2600) Would be really nice if I could get that working, But video playback is acceptable now. My 2ghz core 2 duo T5750 plays 720p h.264 videos fine with no tearing.
My biggest problem with ati drivers right now is smooth scrolling. Total crap compared to windows in firefox and opera.

All is running pretty well ,no slowdows, *really tearfree*, perfect video, and no performance degradation due to tear free enabled (I benchmarked Lightsmark 2008 and a few wine games).
When tearfree is enabled, I can watch tearfree movies in my favorite movieplayer with output set to xv. And it does not lag a bit (not using xvba / va-api). I am using plain core2duo power.
The only annoying thing with the new tearfree option, is when playing HoN. If I do not disable the tearfree option, HoN will drop a bit in fps. Well it is very easy just to disable the tearfree option before launching HoN, but thought I would mention it.

Today i tested a hd 4550 card with a full hd tv. I disabled onboard sound and first used pulse audio, but trine had very bad sound with it, therefore i used a .asoundrc to set hw:0,3 as default.
a) fglrx 11-4 activates underscan even inside X (amdcccle can configure it per device to overscan 0, but why is that not default)
when i swiched a few times fullscreen + window mode with xbmc then fullscreen worked, but window mode was unuseable (forget that crap...)
b) r600
With xbmc i the menu (of the default theme) on the left side was just white. I could play live video via vdr streamdev however. But who wants a white menu?
c) r600g
The menu was fine, but i could not active live video, must be related to hdmi, because i did not change the driver, just activated onboard sound again and removed the .asoundrc then it worked (with a tft connected via dvi).
All in all ati as htpc failed today... As kernel i had to use 2.6.38 because 39 git seems to have wrong channeltuning for dvb. Did anybody notice that too?

fglrx usually works then, but driver switching is still broken.
Also, if I run glxgears without the free fragmentation option in amdcccle, desktop freezes time to time. However, glxgears reports more than 2000 FPS, fgl_glxgears is not affected, reporting about 900 FPS.
