</ol></div>Could be coincidence or maybe something that is implemented better with the 64 bit fglrx drivers?? I still haven't installed the catalyst 8.8 drivers but I'm not sure I need to at the moment...<br><div>

</div>I have been experiencing the same problem for weeks now. Last night I<br>
updated to the latest ATI driver release and still experienced the<br>
tearing. I searched the web and found an environment variable that<br>
"fixes" it:<br>
<br>
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true<br>
<br>
I found the clue here:<br>

<br>
I also had the split screen due to interlacing, I will try some<br>
settings tonight to correct that too.<br>
<br>
I am very keen to get a proper fix..<br>
