In some cases you are forced to use FGLRX drivers provided by AMD, instead of opensource radeon module - e.g. suspend is not working with radeon module (won't recover).
If also you are GDM user like me, you wil find issue. After the GDM is started only Black screen is showed with some random white pixels (like when GPU is broken or overclocked) on the screen.
To fix the issue just downgrade cogl to latest version under catalyst repo, instead using the Archlinux official package.
