This is a common problem that I share with you.  I
know of no solution - I really hope someone will prove
me wrong!  There is a bug report for it but it hasn't
been fixed for a long time.  A very old driver worked
but caused terrible freezes on resolution change,
etc... The bug report is:

http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309

to enable opengl instead, do:
Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "1"
Then set up mplayer to use gl instead:
MPLAYER_SOFTWARE_SCALER = '-vo gl2'

However, I find just using X11 works as well...
MPLAYER_SOFTWARE_SCALER = '-vo x11'

And regardless of however much processing power I
throw at it, on the TV I get (very slight) tearing. 
I'd love to hear suggestions!  Processor is at max
40%.

This problem is limited to using xv on TV out.  There
are GATOS open source drivers but I suspect your luck
will vary depending on the exact card you have.  I had
no success.

The alternative is to get an nvidia card....

Cheers

Daniel
