I switched to the standard 4.3.0 driver, which works fine. However, it
uses about twice the CPU as fglrx for playback, and I still can't watch
HDTV without some stuttering. Strange thing is that the CPU usage
never exceeds 40-60%.
I tried playing with settings in my XF86Config-4. Setting the AGP mode
to 4x maybe helped a bit, though if I tried to turn on fast writes,
starting up X would either cause a hang or immediate reboot.
