Btw. I have a 6670 and the bug still exists.

I didn't realized AMD provides frequent (public) beta drivers lately.
Judging from the steam for Linux forums, AMD is loosing Linux customers fast.
Which makes me sad, but I totally understand why.
I estimate it took AMD to support my 5750 on linux over a year after the card was released.
Building my pc all amd, because they support opensource, I think you can understand my disappointment.
It even almost drove me away from linux.
The good news started for me with openSUSE 12.2, I installed that about 6 months ago.
The opensource driver had 3D, and the catalyst was at least working right.
With 13.1, I noticed an big improvement on TeamFortress 2.

Wanted to see if they fixed multiscreen issues with amd enduro. It segfaults X.

Pff .. Still get a black screen like with the previous beta... It weird, I've never met this before. When Xorg start it flickers the screen and it goes off for a moment and then on again. That's what happens now, except it stays off.. :|
I tried "startx" from recovery mode and got something along the lines of this "no screens found"(more than that, but I don't remember it all now). Had to revert to 13.1 obviously...

I stopped playing SS3 because with my 5850 and Catalyst 13.1 the flickering was so annoying.

In any case, wait until your distro pics it up.
Complaining just to complain and wanting and nVidia card isn't helping anyone.
With their pathetic driver policy they have actively drove me away from supporting them in the future and I want them to know that.
Yes, AMD hasn't got the 'perfect' always working awesome installer
and usually is behind in kernel releases
But also, package maintainers pick up this slack and do the hard work for you.
Personally, I say take your nVidia card and shove it into some "We don't care about libre-software" nVidia hole.
If you want you can use your libre drivers that never will support all parts of the hardware you bought and give you sub-par performance. Or use their proprietary drivers that limits you to older software, unless some other people do AMD's work.
As a gentoo (and occasional Ubuntu) user, I have used the binary blobs since my 9500Pro and haven't had huge issues.
I have said that several times and I will repeat that here once more: AMD, you are already short on money. This will not get better if you piss of your existing customers, so don't do that. For me, with their current driver policy, AMD is dead. They won't get my money anymore. if they at some time in the future decide to change that policy I possibly will re-evaluate this decision, but I doubt they will.

I'm not aware of any flickering; what settings do you use, then I can try the same?
