Yes, that should work. mplayer -vo x11 -zoom works just as well for me,
but the CPU usage is higher, and when I play DVDs directly from disc it
becomes jerky.
I did however find that for some reason the ATI driver doesn't enable
both DRI and XV by default. Dunno who's fault it is. I added this to
my xorg.conf under the device section for the card:
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Maybe it will work for you? Considering that you have the same problem
on an nVidia chip and that mine worked fine with the same driver on a
different distro, maby this is, for once not the video card vendors'
fault :-)
