Me too! Very happy with the latest xorg "ati" driver.

I can build the kernel module for 9.4 but it won't load
(memory allocation error: trying to allocate 0 bytes).

Me too: andcccle hangs on launch. I tried killing the process
then running strace on it, and at that point X froze up hard.

I have an odd problem with 9.2 that was not present with 9.1.

I'm not sure what you mean by "control panel": is this
amdcccle?

Sorry, I'm not finding the exact option you mention. Is this the
same as aticonfig --sync-vsync=on? I turned that on and restarted
the X server but it doesn't seem to make any difference. ...

Sorry, should have said: No, I'm not running a compositor,

I'm using Catalyst 8.12 on a Thinkpad T60, Linux 2.6.28.1.
I've been running Xorg 7.2 and everything has been playing
nicely. Today I updated to Xorg 7.4 and reinstalled Catalyst,
and now I'm...
