I've tried enabling the OpenGL video output in xorg.conf as well as selecting it as output type in vlc. There is still tearing, it doesn't seem to improve.

On a good note, I have built, installed and set up the RadeonHD free xorg driver (v1.2.4) and video playback is superb. Unfortunately, that driver doesn't have any DRI support for my video chip, so I must use full software rendering. My CPU can handle HD resolution video without any noticeable problem.

I restarted with the FGLRX driver and played the video under vlc with the same options (hardware acceleration disabled) and there was still tearing.
