I've been reading so much about all the recent improvements on the open source drivers (both radeon and radeonhd) that now I don't know whether my card (hd3850) is able to play any video without mplayer complaining about my computer being too slow. I've tried with both open source drivers and X starts, everything seems to work ok and I can even play some HD videos (720p, 1080p) without problems (some tearing, but that's all). But then I try with some crappy resolution videos (640x480 or so) and the audio and video desynchronize after a few seconds and mplayer starts complaining. Of course they work perfectly well with fglrx.
So, is it my fault? Some configuration option that I might be missing? Or are the OS drivers still not there yet for the R600 chips? If so, any idea when they will be usable, besides the "They will be ready when they are ready"? (Usable meaning being able to play all videos; I don't care about 3D.)
Thanks
