I have a T42 with the Intel 3000 graphics card and it has worked quite well for me. I use mplayer, vlc, and (primarily) xine on it. I use the default video output device for all. I thought the default was Xv, but I could well be wrong. It's been working for me on stable for well over a year. I started using it when kib made patches available, but I have been running the committed version. Just to confirm, you have WITH_NEW_XORG=YES and WITH_KMS=YES in /etc/make.conf and have built all X ports and the kernel with these options. -- R.
