good alternative to fglrx?
well fglrx is alright, but when im watching a video using 'mplayer -vo gl', it gets a little choppy, not enough fps i guess.
Is there any other decent driver for X i can use instead of fglrx on which i could get direct rendering working on?

Re: good alternative to fglrx?
Xv is a far better vo driver for mplayer. using -vo gl is probably a bad idea.

Re: good alternative to fglrx?
i guest you problem is the xv extension. You probably have it turn off.
just add this in your xorg.conf
Section "Device"
.....
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
....
Option "XVideo" "Enable"
EndSection

Whoa... that's awesome news! Hopefully this will help to turn around ATI's bad linux-driver reputation.
