    I have no issue running in big desktop or clone mode, either booting with this setting or enabling it after my system has fully loaded.
    Well, on my dual-head system (AMD 3450: tv and tft monitor, two separate x-screens), OpenGL programs are not terminated. For example: glxinfo hangs (after outputting all info). An OpenGL program I wrote myself also hangs (after it was finished). Besides that, no really big problems.

    My other computer (single monitor) does not have these problems.

    btw: what is the best location to report bugs? I did report some bugs to the unofficial bugzilla, but is that ever read by the devs?

    on debian

    If you can't wait for debian to release the new package, than you can do this:

    I've had the same issue with 8.8, but not with an notebook.
    I have done the following steps and it worked.

    Code:
    [sudo] gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    
    Section "Device"
            ...
    	Driver		"vesa"
            ...
    EndSection
    Code:
    [sudo] apt-get remove --purge [all ati packages] && [sudo] rm -dfrv /etc/ati/
    Code:
    reboot
    Then I reinstalled the ati packages and activate the fglrx driver but NO OTHER OPTION!!

    Then reboot!
    After reboot, I have activated the other fglrx options like ...

    The steps are not all logic, but it worked.

    As for my 8.9 problem, I suspect that may be something to do with the custom libdri that's apparently there now - I'll have to look into that a bit more.

    -- As I suspected: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so had to be replaced by hand. amdcccle still doesn't work, but the rest of the driver does!

    Based it off the same version - just changed the SRC_URI as well. I rather suspect that I have something different to most people too - I've never been able to run amdcccle. Do you use a dual head system, or only single screen?
    I use enlightenment if that makes a difference, though the 8.8's worked just fine.

    Screen corruption is gone.

    However, like other's mentioned this updates prevents ALT+TAB switching between from a Wine fullscreen app (and also from fullscreen Kaffeine for me). Like others mentioned, the desktop still reacts to mouse and keyboard input and the cursor changes appropriately when hovering over text fields, etc.

    This is especially annoying, when wine hangs. Switching to VT1 still works, but killing the wine app causes the screen (int VT1, just plain text console) to be corrupted and switching back to X doesn't work. Again, the console stays reactive to keyboard input.

    Also, when coming back from fullscreen mode in Kaffein sometimes the the screen stays black and things don't get redrawn until the applications request it (as in mose over, etc.). Note that switching from fullscreen to non-fullscreen in Kaffeine did cause that nice screen corruption to appear with Catalyst 8.6 through 8.8.

    Thankfully, as with the Wine screen corruption, using the Mesa libGL insted of the Catalyst one makes all these problems go away for me, while retaining harware accelerated direct rendering. Of course, this disables all the 3D-related settings in the Catalyst Control Center.
