ATI Catalyst issues - gnome

Hi

I switched to ati catalyst drivers from xf86-video-ati

Gnome now has some graphical issues, top bar is white panel corners look strange, transparent background in console is not transparent
Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/v3mxFcb1

dmesg http://pastebin.com/dkWG0Z7N

lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx                2737643  95
button                  4510  1 fglrx

For some reason the radeon module still gets loaded

lsmod | grep radeon
radeon                989571  0
ttm                    54560  1 radeon
drm_kms_helper         27529  1 radeon
drm                   181991  3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit            5239  1 radeon
i2c_core               20165  5 radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_i801,i2c_algo_bit

I was no able to remove it yet, following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ati

Don't know if this has an influence...

Thanks for any hints on how to fix this.

Re: ATI Catalyst issues - gnome

Did you add "nomodeset" to your kernel line?
If it is still loaded, take a look on blacklisting modules.
