Hi,
As the title says I am having probs with video play back when using FGLRX driver all the desk top effects work flawlessly but video has tearing and is jerky and resize player screen is very unresponsive also high cpu spikes but when I switch to the default driver video plays perfect but I loose all desktop effects.

Is there a way to fix this?
