Does your Xserver support the Xvideo extension ?
xdpyinfo | grep -i xvideo
It does! It is listed by xdpyinfo.
Does your media player use it ?
Well, I don't know for sure. Here's the list of video output drivers
for mplayer that I have (downloaded from blastwave.org).
Available video output drivers:
x11 X11 ( XImage/Shm )
xover General X11 driver for overlay capable video output drivers
gl X11 (OpenGL)
gl2 X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version
sdl SDL YUV/RGB/BGR renderer (SDL v1.1.7+ only!)
aa AAlib
png PNG file
jpeg JPEG file
gif89a animated GIF output
null Null video output
pgm PGM file
md5 MD5 sum
mpegpes Mpeg-PES file
yuv4mpeg yuv4mpeg output for mjpegtools (to "stream.yuv")
tga Targa output
I've tryed with most of them, and with sound disabled. Some are faster
then the others (among the slowest are gl and gl2) but none is capable
of playing at normal speed. Mplayer reports something along the lines
that my computer is too slow, that it could be the sound drivers, video
drivers or something else. My computer is not too slow, it's Thinkpad
R50 1.5GHz Pentium M, playing DVD's nicely while I had Linux on it (no,
I'm not thinking of going back ;-)).
It definitely seems like some kind of acceleration/optimization is not
enabled and that the processor and graphics card are working too hard.
Thanks!
