I just tried the latest Knoppix 5.3 and I noticed that compiz works
much better there. I took the xorg.conf produced by Knoppix and
replaced my original one with it. And now, video playback has improved
tremendously. 

One of the notable differences is that Knoppix sets "TripleBuffer" and
"EnablePageFlip" to "true". 

I have no idea if one of these two makes the difference. However, I'm
happy to see it work and I'm impressed by Knoppix, I have to say.

Thanks,

Johannes
