Fix for video tearing ATI Radeon HD 4200 using Catalyst Driver??

Hey guys, as the title asks, is there a fix for pretty serious video tearing that I am experiencing on my ATI Radeon HD 4200 video card? I'm using the proprietary driver (catalyst, built from AUR) and would prefer to use that one or, if need be, radeonhd driver as I need HDMI sound output.

Below is my xorg.conf.

Many many thanks in advance to anyone who may have some ideas/experience with this.
