Improving Intel X1300 Video playback

Hey all.

I was wondering if you could help me. At the moment my video playback in Arch Linux is not as good in Ubuntu. As ubuntu has the 'Configured Device' etc in the xorg.conf, I cannot see what settings I have for my GPU.

I have compiz enabled, I was looking for X not XV (but a bonus ) to work. At the moment X is slow at fullscreen and causes the CPU to go high(er) than in Ubuntu. And In Ubuntu fullscreen was perfect.

This is my xorg.conf
I have a Intel X1300 Graphics card using the i915 driver.

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier        "X.org"
    Screen      0    "Laptop Screen" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Touchpad" "AlwaysCore"
    InputDevice    "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
    Option        "AIGLX" "true"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load    "synaptics"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "Touchpad
    Driver    "synaptics"
    Option    "Device"    "/dev/input/mouse1"
    Option    "SHMConfig"    "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "USB Mouse"
    Driver       "mouse"
    Option    "Protocol" "auto"
    Option    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor"
    VendorName   "LPL"
    ModelName    "dd00"
    DisplaySize    338 211    
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Intel 965"
    Driver        "intel"
    VendorName    "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName    "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
    Option        "DRI"                    "True"
    Option        "NoDDC"                  "True"
    Option        "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"  "True"
    Option        "AccelMethod"            "XAA"
    BusID        "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Laptop Screen"
    Device     "Intel 965"
    Monitor    "Monitor"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport  0 0
        Depth    24
        Modes    "1280x800"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
  Option    "Composite"    "Enable"
EndSection

Thanks
