Hi again,

In general, Xv performance with KMS leaves me with a feeling that something is not quite right in terms of playback, both with mplayer and vlc. But while movies are nice, this stalling issue is more important.
That should now be fixed in -intel,
Sounds good! I'd love to test. Which branch/commit is that? I just pulled and am using 68a5ad4.
mplayer -vo gl or gl2 works but uses sw rendering and is very slow.
Master with -vo xv should be good, if it doesn't hang.
Incidentally, apropos the backlight commit in xf86-video-intel, it seems like the driver always sets the backlight to 0. Whenver I start X, backlight goes to minimum. I can crank it up with Fn+Home, but if I restart X then it goes back down again.
/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness is always accurate, showing 0 after X starts.
That wasn't meant to be pushed. :( I was working on rectifying lack of backlight controls in on T61 and trying to reduce the number of pieces of code trying to accomplish the same thing through different means. I thought that work was contained on the T61...
