Thanks for your answer, Ivor, of course I have some questions again:

1. Xine output:
If you mean the video output: Still too slow. (But I'm not sure how to 
set up Xine-ui 0.99.3, too (e.g. picking a video driver...  ...at least 
XvMC isn't mentioned in Xine-ui 0.99.3/settings/video/driver [menu, not 
path]))

2. Xorg.log file:
I don't have such a file. But I have /var/log/Xorg.0.log which includes 
XvMC:

(II) VIA(0): direct rendering enabled
Fulfilled via DRI at 10485760
...
(--) VIA(0): Using 3DNow! YUV42X copy for video.
(II) VIA(0): [XvMC] Initialized XvMC extension.
(II) VIA(0): - Done


So how can I use this XvMC for video playback???


Thanks, Bazon

Additional comments:
1. Next time Ubuntu started it claimed a newer Xorg driver for via 
exists and installed it. Is this correct?

2. On http://www.openchrome.org/snapshots/ubuntu/ is written:
"The via_drm.tgz tarball contains a drm kernel module compiled against 
the 686 kernel... if you are using a pre Nehemia C3 processor then you 
need to build your own C3/i586 kernel and if you're doing that... you 
might as well build the drm yourself! :) "

So as I only use a Eden C3 / Samuel 2 in didn't used that modules but 
compiled a patched kernel instead according to 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ViaEpiaDriHowto (and at least the system boots 
with that new kernel...)

3. I tried to install the Via Enhanced Xine Player from 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/viaexp/ but I didn't suceed, as it 
claims I haven't installed the UniChrome Pro VGA driver, but in fact I 
didn't try, as I read, the UniChrome driver doesn't support mpeg 
accelaration anymore.
So the Via Enhanced Xine Player doesn't work with OpenChrome?
