Comment 11 for bug 369375

Likewise, but as we've been told, using the proprietary ATI Catalyst 9.8 for Linux drivers we are left with no support, I fortunately have decent performance with my HD 4650 (rv730). It is set to 1920 x 1080 on both of my screens (24" and 52" Samsung flat panels).

aticonfig --initial=dual-head
aticonfig --help

I'm still trying to find more info on how to fully utilize the aticonfig settings. I still notice tearing on video playback, with quite impressive framerate, no stuttering for the most part, unless you get into 1080p .mkv video. 720p .mkv plays quite well. Flickering on flash videos remains an issue. Of course we will not be able to enable any 3d rendering as far as I know. The support is apparently somewhat there for rv5xx, and rv6xx.

I bought this card for my older agp system to play video. It's an Athlon 64 3400+ with 3 GB of Mushkin Memory. If anyone gets this working feel free to leave some info on one of the http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php threads. Search for rv730. I have posted in there. I'm pretty sure it's clearly stated not to post here for fixes related to ATI/AMD proprietary drivers, fglrx etc... I apologize sincerely.
