In VLC, you have to pick a different output module. I imagine for KDE apps, there must be an option somewhere for that too. Unfortunately, not using Xv often increases CPU usage. :-( - Jordi G.

I'm using fglrx 8-7 if you're using the fglrx driver (which looks like it from your xorg) have you had any luck by using aticonfig? after you install the driver you run $ aticonfig --initial -f that will give you a clean xorg. I don't see how this helps. aticonfig only adds a fglrx line to xorg. for me the newer xorg versions have picked up everything automatically. so ditch the big xorg.conf if you can. i run on a hd3870 and it's perfect using the ati 8.9 driver. all i had to do to get 3d acceleration was install the driver and run aticonfig. to get compiz i just added the compiz enable I'll try installing ati's 8.9 driver. line at the end of my xorg. i've attached my current file for you to look at if you need it.

High cpu usage with compiz
I would like to use compiz. Unfortunately this is problematic since my system lags because of high (50%) cpu spikes. 3d acceleration is working. Is there anything I can do to solve this?
