(Get the code!)
I encountered problems when using XVideo with the "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)". Every so often I had to reset the laptop because starting a video player would freeze X11. I disabled the option "TexturedVideo" by modifying the video device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follows:
...
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "TexturedVideo" "false"
EndSection
...
I've tested this for a while now but since I changed xorg.conf it has worked just fine.
I noticed that in the meantime that there also was a security update for some Intel kernel module. However I didn't test whether X11 works with option "TexturedVideo" enabled now.
