I am testing dkms too currently, and found that a dkms error in /etc/kernel/prerm.d/dkms:
arch=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/:$//'`
There is a "," instead of a ":".
Thanks for the help, but I ended up figuring it out for myself (surprise). In any case, I've got things working now. And only one weird problem, too. (XV overlay is blank, x11 overlay works (like xv overlay, only it doesn't render subs nicely) and opengl overlay works better than before. OpenGL overlay uses much more CPU than x11 overlay, but renders subs nicely and has slight video tearing (though improved compared to last release), And no idea why it's blanking on xv overlay, though without subs the x11 overlay is performing well)

Interval screen flicker is back again. I am using a Mobility 9600 M10 with the 8-02 Catalyst. sigh.
I am happy to have the first run glx program back in working order though
On a related matter, I tried submitting this to the amd driver bug reports but I never got any kind of feed back as to whether it was even received: Ever since Catalyst 7.11 Wings3D, a pretty stable 3D modeler, has experience significant slow downs. The slow downs are related to selecting faces of a mesh and moving the mouse around. This code has been stable and working for quite a long while and hasn't been changed recently AFAICT. Since backing down to 7.10 is known to solve the issue, I'm attributing the 'fault' with the drivers.
I had similar problem. Glxgears works fine, but fgl_glxgears look exactly like in post #20 http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=20 glxgears (similar problems were reporded in other posts on this thread). I replaced file fglrx_dri.so by previous (8.01) release and that fixed my problem. I'm not wanna downgrade, because 8.02 release fixex bug #1003, which I experienced. Now I'am happy - no 1003 bug and good working sauerbraten and other games (which previously looked as fgl_glxgears).
My hardware:
R420 JI (X800PRO or X800GTO) 256MB DDR1 AGP
Athlon 64 3000+
Via K8T800
arch: x86_64
