stop 'tearing' in AMD Radeon HD 6410D?

I recently upgraded my freevo box to a new motherboard that uses the AMD
Radeon HD 6410D chipset.

The only way I could get it to work was with the proprietary fglrx
driver (the open source driver requires KMS which is a sure-fire way of
crashing the kernel). But now I have the choice between 'tearing' of
video and a very low framerate (when I check the no tearing option in
the amdcccle tool).

Does anyone know what is the right way of getting this video chipset to
deliver the promised performance?
