Modify X server and the mplayer, when playing reserve the entire screen and mplayer write the decoded directly into the framebuffer. This is most straightforward and I have tested against on another platform. Actually, even when use XSHM extension in mplayer, the overhead of copy pixmap from mplayer to framebuffer is very big.
