I have been using xf86-video-glamo since Feb 25 and it[1] seems to be
quite stable.

xdpyinfo advertises Xvideo. My normal .mplayer/config has

framedrop=yes
vo=x11
quiet=yes

and with that at least some youtube videos play just fine (including
audio):

lindi at ginger:~$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq-YQ7GuP7I
lindi at ginger:~$ time mplayer -endpos 30 `youtube-dl -g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq-YQ7GuP7I`
real    0m41.659s
user    0m20.940s
sys     0m3.830s

I tried -vo xv and it seemed to use considerably less cpu time:

lindi at ginger:~$ time mplayer -endpos 30 -vo xv `youtube-dl -g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq-YQ7GuP7I`
real    0m41.375s
user    0m9.090s
sys     0m2.930s

However, I did not see anything on the screen :-) (Audio was fine though.)

lindi at ginger:~$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 resolution
  dimensions:    480x640 pixels (200x200 millimeters)
  resolution:    61x81 dots per inch
lindi at ginger:~$ xrandr -o 1
lindi at ginger:~$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 resolution
  dimensions:    640x480 pixels (200x200 millimeters)
  resolution:    81x61 dots per inch
lindi at ginger:~$ xrandr -o 0
lindi at ginger:~$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 resolution
  dimensions:    480x640 pixels (200x200 millimeters)
  resolution:    61x81 dots per inch

Clearly it is lying on the physical screen size but my fonts look
normal so I have not bothered to look into it :-) Lars, any comments?
Is this what you see also?
