No Hardware Accelerated Video without monochromatic flickering

I have an ATI Radeon 5700, using fglrx/catalyst driver (weird crashes with FOSS driver, libva problems).
In both Boxee and XBMC, iI set the hardware accelration option to auto-detect and it settles on VDPAU/VAAPI.
Videos play, however all videos (not just HD) appear in a flickering monochrome.  If I set it to Basic Rendering, videos play fine, except for HD video which now stutter.
VLC can play the same videos without any problems.
So what should I do? Is there an amdcc setting I can manipulate to help with this, or do I just have to wait for for either media center to update their shiznit? I mean boxee barely works in arch (not without an insane amount of tweaking) but I'm fairly surprised XBMC gives me the same nonsense. 
Thanks for your input!

XBMC: 10.1-1 (extra)
Boxee: 0.9.23.15885-3 (AUR)
Catalyst: 11.2-1


nomodeset is in grub, overscanning is in affect, and fglrx is loaded on boot.
