I have no logs since ATI drivers 11.9 think they are working, but on
GNOME3 gnome-shell I still get desktop corruptions, flickering and
stretched-like tooltips.

The situation got extremely better from the 11.8 drivers, at least now
the gnome-shell is... Tolerable with these drivers, but the issues are
still there and didn't get fully fixed, thus gnome-shell is not fully
working.

There is no clear pattern to reproduce the issue other than "using the
GNOME3 effects, like going on the above left "Activities" button/making
tooltips appear, opening new windows, minimizing windows, waiting for
notifications on the bottom part of the desktop to appear" often enough.

I noticed that disabling the anti-tearing feature things get
significantly worse, making even window-dragging to produce significant
flickering and tearing.

I tried the default entropy installation and creating a new xorg.conf
with /opt/bin/aticonfig --initial, but the situation does not change.

I am on a fully updated Sabayon with Limbo enabled, AMD64 laptop,
ati-drivers-11.9#3.0.0-sabayon.

glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6500M/5600/5700 Series

lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon
HD 5600 Series]

/var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsession-errors don't
produce any error related to the graphics card or drivers.
However I guess that these issues are due to ATI drivers.
