Solved for me. No longer getting the error in Xorg.0.log and my video performance is better than before. MythTV, vlc and gmplayer work at full screen using a fraction of the CPU. Still some choppy video with Miro, and Totem is not displaying video but I am not getting the error.

I had luck by Reverting the Jaunty Xorg intel driver to 2.4 as explained in this link

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4

Then I edited

xorg.conf adding the following to the "Device" section
 Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
 Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"

I don't know if changing gstreamer-properties Default output to "X Windows System (No Xv)" had any effect but it is working so I also left it.

Just in case you are wondering. Here is the result of "lspci -nn | grep VGA"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2572] (rev 02)

If I have some time I will try moving up to 2.8 as explained here:
