Video playback flickering...

Hi everyone,

I have had a problem with this for a while. Well, in fact, I have two problems.

First, 3D acceleration doesn't seem to be on. The principal symptoms are that all my videos are flickering (a recurring black veil comes on and off every semi-second or so) and when I try, for example, to start Phun or any game using Wine, I guess a weird error or a slow rendering. Definition of a weird error : my screen splits up in two and become blurry.

Everything is supposed to be fine, as the output of the following command says :

root /home/valandil #  glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

and this other command says so too :

root /home/valandil #  LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo > /dev/null
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.50.3 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri//fglrx_dri.so
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 5, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID PCI:1:0:0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 5, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 5
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0

By the way, these commands were issued at the recommendation of this article : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Troubleshooting

And in case, my xorg.conf file :
