Enable XvMC on Intel Chipsets

All you need is any current distribution (Ubuntu 9.10+). Then you need to enable it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "intel"
Option "XvMC" "true"
EndSection

. Then play an MPEG2 file with /usr/bin/mplayer -vc ffmpeg12mc -vo xvmc and Enjoy\!
