I have been experiencing the same problem for weeks now. Last night I
updated to the latest ATI driver release and still experienced the
tearing. I searched the web and found an environment variable that
"fixes" it:

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true

I found the clue here:

I also had the split screen due to interlacing, I will try some
settings tonight  to correct that too.

I am very keen to get a proper fix..
