So does anyone have recent results with the 7970? I am building a new system this week and I'll be installing Arch. Hopefully fglrx won't give me too much shit...

I am quite new to Arch. I have a problem with getting my catalyst drivers working properly. Dual GPU (APU + 6650M) on my laptop, Xorg 1.13, Catalyst 12.11 beta from AUR, kernel 3.6.11-1 and this is the result (Xorg.0.log) : https://gist.github.com/4521646. Should I try linux-lts kernel ? Or older Xorg, for example 1.12 ?
Output from glxgears :
BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
With "aticonfig --initial" xorg.conf the screen is black. When I remove it, it works on VESA. This is the config file : http://pastebin.com/x2USnzjN
Thank you for replies, I will provide any useful information.

Did you set "nomodeset" in your grub or syslinux or so as a boot parameter?

Yes, of course :-)
Edit : YES !! The ALMIGHTY package "catalyst-total" has solved it !!! Thanks for this package !!! :-)

I have the 6480G and I use catalyst-hook and xorg from Vi0l0's repo, same kernel and and I have linux-headers installed. How is it working with xorg 1.13? I've never manage to get X to work with catalyst and zorg 1.13

catalyst 13.1
was just released. There's a couple of bugfixes here and there, also for powerXpress support.
I will test it and update after getting back from work
Edit:
Ok, 13.1 seems fine - affter few tests i can say that it's working pretty good and stable (better than 12.11 betas).
I've updated packages in both AUR and repo, also added my testing patch to bring 3.8 kernel support (patch was working up to rc3, im compiling rc4 right now, edit: yep, works on rc4).
ChrisXY wrote here that pxp package can now work with xf86-video-intel-git, this also meens that pxp users should be able to work on xserver 1.13. Chris also wrote that he had to make a symlink to /usr/lib64 to get pxp to work.
I have moved switching scripts into /usr/lib months ago, because amd has removed it's hard paths from binary, it's possible that i must to put those scripts into /usr/lib64 once again. Will check it soon.

^ It's also in [community-testing] (and [multilib-testing]) and I just updated to it. Everything is running smoothly so far, animations are fluent and window movement is too (albeit with export CLUTTER_VBLANK=none in ~/.xprofile).

That's all I can give you I asked the same a while back but never really understood much of its purpose. I think it's safe to ignore this, at least I have never bothered with it.

Thanks Unia.
@13.1: Man, this driver is such a dissapointment. "Resolved performance for Valve Linux games" my ass. TF2 is now unplayable for me. And Serious Sam 3 is (slightly) worse than with the beta driver. What the hell has AMD done?

Just installed Catalyst-total, did a purge of all ATI related configs, files, etc, glad to say the pesky watermark is gone.
I'll test over the next few days, benchmark, etc. For now, looks like a safe upgrade.
Thanks Vi0L0

Using legacy drivers, catalyst-hd234k repo. I am getting :

You could either hold it for a bit until 3.7 comes to stable, or upgrade linux to the version in [testing] or a kernel repository which updates quicker. Do the latter at your own risk.
In this case, I would go into /etc/pacman.conf and add linux to the packages to update first (if you're lazy, just sudo pacman -S linux). That way you update linux, and then can update catalyst.

catalyst package was precompiled for 3.6 kernel, and so it won't work on 3.7
After getting back from work i will update it. edit: done

Current build of catalyst-hook works great with linux 3.7 (tested with linux-ck).

Look forward to it, I just read the news and rushed here to see if we've gotten it yet! Thanks for packaging when you do!

I've read similar reports in other forums too; This is so disappointing, after six months they didn't even cared/managed to get legacy drivers working with xorg-server 1.13; Probably it will get working with 1.13 , when 1.15 is out
At the moment I'm using open source drivers, there is OpenGL3.0 support (There should be 3.3 support on mesa 9.1 release), kinda working dynamic power management with occasional screen flickers (I've set it to low profile for daily use).
EDIT 1 : Sounds like only noticeable change is adding gl_ext_texture_srgb_decode OpenGL extension support for people playing Valve's Source engine powered games on Linux, nothing more.

@andmars Yup, same here, and not just on the browser, happens everywhere: kate and amarok have also shown artifacts.

for me I can pin this one down to dwb (webkit) as browser. It doesn't happen with firefox when opening the same urls. KDE apps work fine here (k3b, kdenlive) using monsterwm as...well as wm :-)
