SO I have heard you can get video acceleration via xvba and vaapi with ati cards and fglrx, I tried searching for a way to do this but only found some very outdated looking guides, How can I use mplayer with vaapi in ubuntu 10.04?
wget -N http://kanotix.com/files/fix/mplayer-vaapi-latest.txt sudo sh mplayer-vaapi-latest.txt mplayer -va vaapi -vo vaapi movie you can also try: mplayer -va vaapi -vo vaapi:gl:reflect movie to see a funny effect.
