Hi,
Just one remark made me tick :

Note: At this moment I'm using two monitors (using DVI output), Should
be influenced in this test?
I had problems with direct rendering on multiple-monitor setup because
of the lack of video memory. Try with your laptop's screen only first.
You could also look what exactly caused :
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
in the logs, by looking the preceding lines.
Test with only laptop's screen:
----------------- Xorg.log ------------
(II) RADEON(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf103b000 at 0x48027000
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] Closed DRM master.
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(II) RADEON(0): XAA Render acceleration unsupported on Radeon 9500/9700
and newer. Please use EXA instead.
(II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration disabled
(II) RADEON(0): num quad-pipes is 1
(II) RADEON(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA)
Screen to screen bit blits
Solid filled rectangles

Solid Lines
Scanline Image Writes
Setting up tile and stipple cache:
32 128x128 slots
32 256x256 slots
16 512x512 slots
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration enabled
------------------- end of Xorg.log ----------
Until this moment I don't know anything about EXA; I'd need to look for
into Wikipedia for "this" EXA architecture.
I try now enabling EXA in xorg.conf (before look for in the net) and now
log show this:
-------------------- Xorg.log before EXA ------------------
II) RADEON(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf249f000 at 0x48027000

(II) RADEON(0): no multimedia table present, disabling Rage Theatre.
(II) RADEON(0): Set up overlay video
(II) RADEON(0): Set up textured video
-------------------- End of xorg.org before EXA ----------------
I test now 720p video and result is the same. I'm not sure that enabling
EXA is better results. But, at least I have less Warning in X system.
There are anymore to test?

Benjamin
Thank so much at all.
