After installing ati-drivers-8.32.5 (upgraded from 8.30.2-r1) I get display corruption when running OpenGL applications such as fgl_glxgears and Unreal Tournament. The corruption is so extreme in the case of Unreal Tournament that I have to drop to a shell and restart X because I can't see enough on the screen to even exit Unreal Tournament. This seems like it might be an upstream problem, but I haven't seen anyone report the issue who has installed it from the binary release on ATIs site. I will attempt to test that and see if it's a problem with the ebuild.

Not a games bug.
Similar problem here. After installing 8.32.5 drivers I can start X but in my case is more of a pain... It freezes on start. I'm running fluxbox and after loading the dockapps and (not sure exactly where), X hangs and I can't even drop to shell nor kill it with Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc. This only happened with these drivers. Other problems usually cause X not to start. I checked the logs but I can't find any info on what might be causing the problem, nothing relevant in the logs.

Recent versions of the driver do not like custom mode lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - try commenting any custom mode lines out and see if that works. Either way, that's not the same bug as this one. My issue is an OpenGL issue only.
I have exactly the same problem as Christopher, also with an ATI X800 card: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R480 [Radeon X800 GTO (PCIE)] Everything worked fine with 8.30.2-r1, but upgrading to ati-drivers-8.32.5 causes all OpenGL applications to be corrupted.
Same here. ATI Radeon X1300 on a Dell Inspirion E1505. 8.32.5 corrupts on start of Xorg, and freezes solid. This is one case for the magic sysrq keys. I'm going to mask this one and check the next release below.
I can confirm that 8.32.5 is broken from the factory -- a lemon. Downgrading fixed this issue. I'd hard mask this release at this time.
I'm getting serious problems with this release when having multiple X-sessions at once. It'll give me display freezes, following messages in the ring buffer, and a system hang after "killall -9 X" :) [fglrx] PCIe has already been initialized. Reinitializing ... [fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 10844 using kernel context 0 [fglrx:firegl_lock_free] *ERROR* lock was not held by 1! (*lock=0x00000000) [fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* firegl_lock_free failed! Running amd64, stable
Same problems here with an X1950 pro - getting corruption with opengl apps and freezes with multiple X sessions. Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 x86_64)

I have installed ati-drivers-8.33.6 via the ebuild provided by Thomas Meyer in <a href=http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161378>bug 161378</a>. ati-drivers-8.33.6 exhibits none of the display corruption issues of 8.32.5. should be closed. ati-drivers should be bumped to 8.33.6 and 8.32.5 should be hard-masked on the tree. I am changing the status of this bug to UPSTREAM.
