by decent video quality i mean, that i see the images with a very low resoution (pixelated) and i can't play a video (avi file) as the framerate is too low. also 3d programs doesn't work (i've tested only second life so far) i don't need anything funky, just a normal config. are you using the ati drivers or the xorg ones? can you please share your xorg config file?
BTW i'm using xorg-server-1.7.7-r1 can that be the problem?
