ATI open source driver annoyances

[fuzzythebear]

Finally stopped whining and dropped the closed source
drivers .. installed the drivers and got acceleration going.
All fine .. or almost

i got annoying little horizontal lines .. well .. it's hard to explain ..
it's like the image is made out of lines that we can see ..
would that be related to dpi ?
also .. i got the 1024 768 .. but it's at 87 hz .. can that also
be part of the problem ?

more annoyances like ppracer .. it does start .. but then no fonts
are visible .. but traces of them .. like the first bottom pixel .. click
and the game plays .. but again .. a bit choppy ideas ?

also .. video players like mplayer are showing out of sync video
so cant watch video at all. again .. can this be also related ?

here's the config :
ati radeon 9250 256 mb
