Catalyst 14.9-11 + xorg 1.17 -- Some steam games don't work.
I was using the open source ATI drivers and everything worked fine. I changed my drivers to the new Catalyst, trying both the unofficial Catalyst repository and catalyst-test in AUR, because I really want to be able to push more polygons for 3D sculpting in Blender, and Catalyst now finally supports 1.17. However, some steam games fail to work correctly. Civilization V immediately crashes, and TF2 runs with completely black video, though I can still hear the sound. Non-steam applications that I've tested, Blender and Unigine Heaven benchmark and kwin, all support 3D accel and work fine.
I'm not really sure how to run the steam games so that I can get some console output to debug this. Does anyone know how I can get more information on the issue or what this issue might be?
Thanks!

catalyst doesn't support xorg 1.17.

It's a miracle you have Catalyst working with x.Org 1.17, when the Omega driver doesn't have support for 1.17 yet!
Claire is fine.
