This likely happen because you don't have the Xvideo extension of your 
XFree86 server configured properly, in which case VLC falls back on the SDL 
video output which exhibits this kind of behaviour.

The solution is to properly configure the Xvideo extension (have a look at 
the result of the xvinfo command).

You can also run "vlc -V x11" if you have enough CPU power.
