I have a eee 901 which uses the Intel 945GME chipset. Whenever I play a video or use my webcam all I get is a blue box where the video output should be.

This worked getting video again for my webcam and other apps such as Kaffiene but I am annoyed by the fact that anything graphical runs considerable slower. Is there a workaround, a patch, or a configuration option that would help solve my problem.
I am using the intel driver not i810 and here is my xorg:
