Thanks for reviewing this.

Going to ask Ben Supnik from Laminar Research (X-Plane developer) and 
BCC him, since he has apparently run into the same issue. There's much 
info of fglrx woes (not really Linux specific, either) on 
http://developer.x-plane.com/

He said publicly to be in contact with AMD themselves, and been friendly 
to OSS by releasing an X-Plane Linux version, as well as overall cool 
fellow.

Ben, Please help!

Like this? Patch attached.

I've run into hard GPU hangs with fglrx 13.2, no VT switch either. This 
helps:

[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="gdi"
"Multisampling"="disabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"

Lack of GLSL disables HDR apparently.

Without GDI, there's some nasty display corruption on FBOs.

Also Catalyst likes to hang display when switching from 3D to 2D and VT 
switch helps.

But with all this busywork, performance is near-native. Catalyst at 
least supports indirect addressing (whatever that means) and doesn't 
choke on > 128 temps... FYI Mesa bug submitted:
