Fujitsu Laptop

I have an old Fujitsu laptop with the dreaded SiS 771/671 graphics card. All I want to do with the laptop is to use it to play DVD's as it has a DVD drive. I have been told that arch has a sisimedia driver. My question is thus, would this driver be enough to give me decent DVD playback? I have installed Kubuntu 12.04 and 11.10 and installed the sis671 driver and although I can get the 1200x800 screen rez, I can not play any DVD's as it's hardware acceleration is pants!

Your thoughts, is much appreciated.

Cheers

Have you tried using the xorg file from this post in your arch install ?
