That's a hardware limitation of the matrox card: XVideo only works on the

to switch output drivers in totem-xine...)
I wouldn't recommend that, unless your machine is _very_ fast, though.
XShm's software rendering eats lots of CPU.
If your X server supports hardware accelerated OpenGL, that would be a
viable alternative. (use "xine -V opengl" to test).
Xine options under totem are passed via a .totem/xine file or something
similar. I suppose this can be passed through the config file as well.
Sure. The config option should be "video.driver", so having a line like
video.driver:xshm
in the config file (~/.totem/xine, I suppose) instead of the default
("auto" or maybe "xv") should do it.
If OpenGL output works, that line should be:
video.driver:opengl
