No problems for me, I have 6870s in Crossfire (Crossfire performance was lost for many people) and I haven't had an issue yet.

If you want to clear out 11.2 and do a fresh 11.1 install, use Driver Sweeper (just follow the directions they give you), redownload the 11.1 CCC package from the AMD site, and go nuts.

Crossfired 5870's here and no issues other than the HDMI audio driver which I don't use.

Actually, that reminds me of something -- I can no longer duplicate my desktop to my TV when running 3d apps (used to play games on my TV with a 360 controller, would have monitor still functioning in case I needed to change settings/talk on Steam or something). Now I have to make the TV the preferred display, and it will kill the monitor's feed altogether.

Well I am still using the HDMI connection as I have a three monitor setup. DP, DVI, and HDMI are my connections but I do not use the HDMI audio. All the video works fine.

There is a main thread already posted on these drivers maybe a look at that could provide some answers ?

I've got a sager w860CU w/ mobility HD5870 and it gives me green screen/ driver failure when watching flash based video like youtube or hulu. Reverted to 11.1 drivers, and ima stick with them over 11.2.

There have been previous driver's that also gave me this issue but I don't recall what ones specifically...seems like a crapshoot on the laptop as to whether i'll still be able to watch stuff online after a new catalyst release :-(

Go to your device manager, select the adapter, open the properties, go to the driver tab, and roll back to previous adapter. OR, you can uninstall everything, driversweet, and re-install 11.1. The latter is more thorough, but I had no issues just rolling back.

As for blue vs green, blue screen is commonly referring to the "blue screen of death" with white text telling you there was an error and you have to restart the computer. My 'green screen' is when just the portion of my screen playing flash video turns green, then i get a little popup saying my display adapter has failed but recovered. I can go about everything else normal afterwards, where a bsod is more serious
