Thanks for your work ! 

About xvmc : as I am not an xorg specialist I just tried : xine -V xvmc ... and xine dies silently. Strace gives : 
write(1, "main: video driver  failed"..., 33) = 33

Strangely when i run xine in standalone asking to set the video output use xvmc and reload it, then it seems Ok... But I am not pretty sure that it is using really xvmc...

Another point : Is there any prerequisites within xorg for example before using xvmc ...

With mplayer -v :
options that seems ok are : xvmc  xv x11 (I haven't tried the others).

Thanks for the info about opengl. 

One question I haven't look at very sharply is the viafb question ;)
