Make sure you have these options in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager

If -accel xv does not work for you, try -accel xv:pbuffer
If still not working, open your media player without any movie and set it to use video driver xshm instead of xv.
Start Xorg only (no Xgl), and check whether you have Direct Rendering enabled with glxinfo. If not, check that you are in the 'video' group, if you're using the default configuration.
However if I say "mplayer -vo x11 dancemonkeyboy.mpg" it plays solidly, whether being dragged around the screen, made transparent, played on the corner between 2 desktops or what have you.
-vo x11 tells mplayer to use xshm. It's slow.
Do you have DISPLAYMANAGER_XGL_OPTS in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager? Did you run SuSEconfig after adding that?
Alternatively, you could also try -vo gl2 or gl
Don't use -vo gl2 or gl under Xgl. It will probably always be slower
than Xv, and if Xv doesn't work, OpenGL typically won't as well.
