WTF, still broken after 8.8 update. This is really annoying. >:(

I was able to fix this using the virtual width and height described here http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_ … 3D_display
Setting anti-aliasing didn't do anything for me so I left that off. Also if I run the "xrandr -s 0" command the corruption returns .
At least I can play eve-online on linux again without corruption.My monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050 so here's an example for that resolution from my xorg.conf.
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1728 1050 EndSubSection EndSection
EDIT: Hmm it seems that sometimes I still get the corruption when I run something 3d in a window, but using the application options to change to a different resolution and back seems to fix it.
Well, little by little I'm getting rid of that scrabbling mnitor when I try to play with wow. Your solution is correct, but If I change the Virtual to a resolution different from the default (1280x800) the screen will be much larger and still I didn't discover the correct way to revert to the original size...Hints?
UPDATE: solved. I just have to type xrandr -s 0 to change the resolution to the default one.

You can actually compile 8.5 to work with the new kernel, an arch linux developer who supplied a great patch. So far I have no problmes and Warcraft III works flawless with wine 0954.
The patch can be found here, I hope the developer doesn't mind: http://dev.archlinux.org/~travis/firegl_public.patch
WIth that catalyst compiles and catalyst utils compiles without a patch.
Just short notice if you don't know how to modify pkgbuild from abs: 1) Remove MD5 sum
2)Add firegl_public.patch to source array
3) Change pkgver=8.8 to pkgver=8.5
4) run makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
5) Add "patch -p0 -i $startdir/src/firegl_public.patch || return 1" after the other patch statement without quotes ofc
6) makepkg and hopefully it works
A question of my own, if anyone experiences black screen and eg avatar disappears after logging in WOW and has solved this
edit: seems to work after disabling pixelshaders, hurray!

THANK YOU. There it seems to be some problems in patching progress. It asks me which file has to be patched :
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Yes, I just got it to work by entering
File to patch: lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c
It will also ask you for firegl_public.h and firegl_public.c again. Just substitute it in the command above.
Thank you guys so much for this thread! I have been pounding my head against a wall for the past week!
BTW, ATI X700 Pro. Just FYI.

Can anyone please upload a working, patched and compiled Catalyst 8.5?
That patch isn't working for me, I get a lot of "Hunk FAILED" errors until the build itself fails.
