Intel Graphics Card Issues

Good Day All - I think I'm trying to beat a dead horse getting Eden to work on my PC, but perhaps someone can point me in a new direction...I have a small Shuttle XPC/K45 running Ubuntu 10.04 which has an embedded Intel 82945g/GX video card. I take it thats the 945G Series. I have a VGA connection to my TV which works fine after a few mishaps of find the refresh rate. At first I just installed Eden per the Ubuntu install and tested it. It works except the mouse control is VERY slow. When I tried to play a video the audio was OK, but the frame rate was way slow. Glxinfo shows Version 1.2 server and 1.4 client capable. Not sure if that is adequate..

I found this guide and tried to use it to add a few of the libraries. The PPA's added fine, but apt complained that some libraries were not found...libbluray1 and i965-va-driver among them,....but it found others....libcec.

My question is - Is is possible to tweak this card to run videos smoothly? I dont think the PC could support a heavy PCI NVidia card as the power supply is only 100 Watts. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Does your video chipset support hardware acceleration?

Still trying to get my Intel video acceleration going for XBMC on Ubuntu 10.04. I have followed the guides and installed a number of support files including the vainfo package. My issue is I have one unresolved library for VA in libva-glx1. I can't seem to find the lucid version anywhere. Anyone know a source for this package? Can I use a newer version of the package? Find the source and compile it? Any help would be appreciated!
