With my ATI Mobility Radeon X300 I have the same problem. I must choose using composite extensions or playing videos with the fglrx drivers.
With the open drivers I can't use the Powerplay option and the fan is active much time degrading the battery life, but videos and composite works fine together. So for now I use fglrx with no composite with this options in xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "fglrx" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" EndSection I tried a lot of configurations, but always with problems. Maybe the video doesn't appear, or appear "pixelized" and using a lot of CPU, or is in front of any windows...
