Textured video seems to be enabled in the intel driver now in intrepid and a patch that made it possible to disable it has been removed.

This leads to severe video tearing in all video players I tried: mplayer, totem, vlc.

The only workaround for me at the moment is to use mplayer and instruct it to use the xv port that isn't textured. This also seems to confirm, that it is indeed textured video that is causing the problem.

I'm using a netbook with a Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

My suggestion would be to give people who have this problem the opportunity back to disable textured video altogether.
