HI, I came across this thread because I myself share an a/v sync problem
when viewing movies in totem, although that problem is due to it using
the esound daemon.

Anyways I have a laptop with a Mobility Radeon 9000 and use the fglrx
drivers as well.  When I installed the drivers I happened across an
excellent guide, in some ubuntu forum although I regret I don't have
the link, and I didn't use any automated setup.

Without further ado I suggest copying and pasting the following in,
# === Video Overlay for the Xv extension ===
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"

# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

# === Use internal AGP GART support? ===
# If OpenGL acceleration doesn't work, try using "yes" here
# and disable the kernel agpgart driver.
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

Below is my entire xorg.conf file for copying and pasting, my apologies
for the length,
# /etc/x11/xorg.conf (xorg x window system server configuration file)
#
# this file was generated by dexconf, the debian x configuration tool,
using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/x11/xorg.conf manual
page.
# (type \"man /etc/x11/xorg.conf\" at the shell prompt.)
#
# this file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades
*only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the
xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# if you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically
updated
# again, run the following commands:
#
#   cp /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.custom
#   sudo sh -c 'md5sum /etc/x11/xorg.conf
>/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum'
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
