This brings back memories of my old HP laptop with an Athlon 64 and a Radeon X200M.
The crappy FGLRX driver only supported overlays (afair) and so when running something like Compiz it would transform the window with the green background but the video itself would stay in place and it would just stick parts of the video on top where it happened to overlap.
I still remember being excited when the open source drivers finally gained support for r300 and could do proper textured video...
