Yes, I did that. fglrxinfo is using the binary libGL provided by ATI.

Is than an environment variable? It is not set here, so it should have
no influence.

Anyway, I did a downgrade to 4.3, and the situation is exactly the
same. And I remember why I did the upgrade in the firstplace: whatever
I configure, the ati driver in 4.3 does not work. All bitmaps seem to
be corruct, text is illegible and the cursor is just noise. If I turn
off acceleration, it gets worse...

With the fglrx driver, everything is fine (apart from direct
rendering), but I still get occasional crashes.

Ok, so I could try a stock 64bit kernel, or even 32bit kernel (+
userland). Otherwise I don't see any options.
