Intel i810+slow performance+'blue frame on videos'

Good day.
I have a HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop with an Intel Centrino CPU and 1.2 Gb or RAM.
My problems with the video card are not serious, but they started to annoy me. When I watch videos (using Mplayer, VLC or anything) and I move/resize the video output window I get a blue background and a flickering video. This isn't really bad, but I thought it might give you a clue of what the problem might be.
The biggest issue are flash videos on websites. Youtube, for example, works 'fine' with the video in small size, but when I go fullscreen, all I can get are static frames and a slow computer.

In case it helps, here's my messy xorg.conf:
