It sounds like the process accounting in the new sid kernel is a bit more
accurate. I would tend to believe sid more than sarge in this respect.

Your sarge X log file says that DRI is working. It may be lying though.
Again, I would believe sid more than sarge in this respect too. What I need
to help fix the DRI problem in sid though is your X log of a 16 bit X
session in sid. Although I expect the problem to be the same as in 24 bit
mode (ie. not enough video memory).

That depends on (at least) three things, the X server, the media player and
the movie file format and resolutions. So any kind of blanket statement
is impossible to make.
