I confirm on GM965/GL960.  Note that this has nothing to do with DRI.  the symptoms described occur both with DRI enabled and with it disabled.  Note also it has nothing to do with tvtime -- it affects all xv apps (totem, vlc, mplayer, etc).  You can enable TexturedVideo via
    Option          "XvPreferOverlay" "false"
(note that TexturedVideo is the default, so people seeing this bug must have set XvPreferOverlay).  But with TexturedVideo you get bug #358365.  Finally, the error message appearing on the X console is:
    (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer
as reported in one of the dupes.

So, video playback is impossible with this driver.  You can disable xv
(e.g. using gstreamer-properties) but the speed is then too slow to use
fullscreen.

Version 2.7.0 of this driver has been released, and is packaged at:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ .  I'll try
that next and report if it fixes this bug (and #358365).
