Hi!

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.

András

ps.: sorry my english :)
