I discovered that Xine worked with the Xshm video mode, but it, too, was choppy. I had trouble getting ogle to work in gui mode, so I compiled and installed by hand, and that worked. The video is still choppy, but less so than when I used the debian package (wierd).
I've found XV video mode to work best, you might want to try that.
