It isn't fixed yet. I don't play WoW, but if you search through these forums there's information/links about working around this with WoW - some of the things you may end up needing are:
- add a "Virtual" screen size entry in your main xorg.conf
- use the mesa version of libGL.so rather than the version fglrx replaces it with
- Run a nested X server, and run WoW inside that

Sorry I don't have detailed instructions, maybe someone else can help :)

I see exactly the same problem, and have the same software, but a Radeon HD2600 Pro. I've just installed the catalyst 8.8 drivers, but also reported the same problem against catalyst 8.5 here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11489.

An X screenshot shows a perfect image, yet what I see on the screen is a bunch of long-flat rectangles that are in the wrong position. Here's a photo: http://meyering.net/tmp/stair-step-wow.jpg

Any tips would be most welcome.

i've tested that Virtual trick but not sure is 1442x900 correct one, well i quess i might give a little brake for wine, and use linux native games till they fix that. i think i used 8.5drivers few months back(used envy to install it) and than those worked but now envy uses 8.6 and it doesn work and cannot get 8.5 working while doing manual install. but these 8.8 work fine on all linux side, like gnome,compiz,quake3, much more performance and stability comparing to repositierie drivers.

Virtual trick works fine, if your resolution is 1440x900, then use 1441x900.

well virtual just makes that checkerboard much sharper boxes with wine. so virtual works but doesn't fix wine problem.

Lower the screen resolution (ctrl-alt--), launch the wine app and restore the previous screen resolution.
Dirty but works.
