I don't use gmplayer. For mplayer there are diffrent video-out drivers. 
You should use xv, which should be also found in gmplayer.
Try playing your files with 'mplayer -vo xv <filename>'.

The x11 one is probably the worst, it's unacceleratet.
Also type 'xvinfo' to check if XVideo support is running.
