I have Intel 855GM but I don't think I've ever experienced this problem, 
although I must say I've only used AIGLX for a short while now. I'm 
testing with mplayer -vo xv and it tells "Shared memory not supported 
Reverting to normal Xv". I would think upscaling in X11 only depends on 
the algorithm the player software uses.
