I have been using a Radeon RV100 card for quite sometime now with various distros with out any problems. I found that 3D rendering did not work very well so I don't use that. However I have never had any issues with watching video. Over the weekend I purchased a 32" lcd monitor that supports 1920x1080 resolution. The problem I am having is that while watching a video it will lag every half a minute or so. I never had this problem before with my old monitor at 1024x768 resolution.
I am using the radeon driver. Currently I don't use any xorg.conf file. Xorg generates one on the fly and it's settings look good. Here's what Xorg is using (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log):

I'm wondering if I can solve this problem by tweaking xorg or perhaps using a different driver, or maybe I am just pushing the limits of my video card.
Thanks
