Turn off Compiz and see what happens (Appearances > Visual effects tab > none)

If I understand you right you're not interested in Compiz and video works now - then you're OK
The Ati 3650 is a fairly new card as far as I can see, so I'm a bit surprised the ATI driver don't work.

I screwed with the Xorg file and I had to reinstall.

I don't have Compiz effects, but I prefer watching movies so, unless new drivers come out for Ati HD series, I can't use Compiz.
should I stay as I am or should I try another solution?

Thanks for your answer
Drivers have been out for this card. ATI 8.12. This is for the HD series of card. I have a 3200 and it screams graphics wise. Urban Terror runs at a constant 92 fps. And thats with Compiz running.

Try setting your video player to use X11 video output. It works nicely for me using VLC. ... I found this from here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showth ... t=17956021
