I have this problem but i have another ATI inegrated card (01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]) The solution is the next: - use fglrx (you have to test the 3D rendering with fgl_fglxgears command) - use mplayer with -vo gl or -vo gl2 option (the gl and gl2 is opengl video output) I hope i can help you.
