You need to tweak a lot of things for HD3xxx in general

It will help if you use a xorg.conf


Some other options to play with (apart from common ones)

#fglrx specific
	Option      "TexturedVideo" "on"
        Option      "VideoOverlay" "off"
        Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
        Option      "Textured2D" "on"
        Option      "TexturedXrender" "off"
        Option      "UseFastTLS" "1"
        Option      "BackingStore" "on"

But the latest version is 4 days old!

#radeon
        Option	"SubPixelOrder"	"NONE"
	Option	"AccelDFS"  "on"
	Option	"EnablePageFlip" "on"
	Option  "AccelMethod" "EXA"
	Option  "BusType" "PCIE"
	Option  "DisplayPriority"  "HIGH"
	Option  "DRI"  "on"
