I don't understand how the onboard video card is involved at all? Are
you saying the card could be used for acceleration even when it's not
being used for output? This feels unlikely. I suspect my problems are
somehow related to however the onboard graphics card and the via
driver is involved - surely playback should only involve the ivtv
driver?

When I get home, I can try using mplayer directly and bypassing X to
see how I get on?

I realise we're getting slightly outside the scope of this list, but
if you could still help me out that'd be great - I really am quite
stuck...

Thanks,
