Having the Xv driver is always a good thing. And yes, you'll need the Xv
dev sources. MPlayer's documentation is your friend:Read http://www5.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/softreq.html and
http://www5.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/output-trad.html#xv .
But I'm not sure if that will solve your problem. Depending on your
machine the x11 driver should be fast enough to play a dvd anyway. Be sure
it isn't gmplayer's fault and try with mplayer on the command line.

Go here: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user
and use the follow-up feature.

Good luck,
