I just reinstalled Arch and I installed the ATI drivers, at first I couldn't get them working but when I did, video in full screen was amazingly slow, so I tried installing ati-drivers-arch, as someone in the boards suggested but after that each time I start X, it would crash my computer, so right now I am using the standard vesa driver to even start X.
Also when trying to resize mplayer (while using -vo gl) it says my computer is too slow. And VLC has no speed issues but the quality of the picture is very poor.
I am running:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
ATI Radeon X800 GTO
1.5 gb of DDR RAM

A big thank you to anyone who can help!

It doesn't look like xorg 7 has been installed. The latest kernel 2.6.15 needs xorg 7, udev, and initrd .
I may be wrong but my xorg is much smaller in size and fonts are handled differently in the latest kernels.
Please see the blogs concerning the upgrades to the xorg 7 changes.
Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!

Thanks, I know I have XOrg R7 installed and udev for sure but I will give it a shot. Also adding 'zoom="1"' to my mplayer config solved its framerate issue but the quality is still really poor!

not sure if you are using the drivers ATI produced or the ones in
xf86-video-ati as produced by xorg.
To my eyes the results from the xorg drivers are better than the ATI produced video when playing video.
