For all issues with the catalyst driver you should contact ATI (and
good luck with that). It's closed source, they are the only ones who
know how to fix it.

For all issues with the free radeon driver create a bugzilla entry.
It's open source, but only the initiated are capable of fixing it
(after they break it).

For buying ATI hardware, you have only yourself to blame. :-)

HTH, :-)
