Thanks for the reply.

Sorry about that.

It is a GMA X3000, on a G965 chipset, on an intel DG065WH motherboard,
using a Prolink ADD-7315-DVI-T ADD2-N card (Chrontel CH7215) with HDMI
output.

CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6700.

1 GB of PC6400 DDR2.

The best results visually and with the less CPU involvement from mplayer
and X is when using the xv output.

xorg server 1.3
Intel 2.1.1

Ubuntu Gutsy x86_64
