I guess you use Jaunty where the Overlay option doesn't really work.

I am pretty sure that Windows Vista uses Overlay at least in full screen video mode. Some say that the i965 chipset doesn't support Overlay but then suddenly it was possible too. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/152206/comments/15

I am not sure if there ever be a solution because the devs will always find some cutting edge which could be integrated to mess things up because Linux people live in the future and doesn't need working things right now. That's why there is no real stable Xorg branch imho.
