Well, no.  The GM965 chipset comes with Intel GMA X3100.
The X301 has a GM45 Express chipset with Intel GMA X4500HD.

IIRC for a while people claimed that GM965 doesn't have video overlay
hardware, then someone posted a patch enabling it and said it turned out
to actually (a) exist and (b) work just fine.  Still, I wouldn't be
surprised if the overlay hardware is missing in any newer Intel graphics
chipsets.

And this clearly shows that the textured video XV port is not disabled.

The UNIX philosophy basically involves giving you enough rope to
hang yourself.  And then a couple of feet more, just to be sure.
