I would go down the entire chain and check for differences: - same video (file/disk/whatever) - same player and especially check the output options and filters (e.g Xv seems to behave better on intel than GL, at least on my box) - I guess you compared xorg.conf, but do the drivers have the same defaults? In Debian the intel driver was recently switched from XAA to EXA acceleration. HTH, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
