It looks like maybe a problem with xv overlays. You can try using a different output driver than xv. Also, try adding AccelMethod to your device section in xorg.conf if you don't have it: Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" If that doesn't help, maybe try EXA instead of XAA. Also, if you're using anything like compiz of KDE4 desktop effects, try turning it off.
