I think XV (xvideo) might have stuff for hardware scaling, it might be worth asking on the xpert list. I was talking to somebody the other night who reckoned Director was 4x slower under Wine than Windows, potentially because Director thought it couldn't use hardware acceleration and was doing all the rendering in software?
Well, Xv certainly supports hardware scaling... But AFAIK only the NVIDIA binary driver advertizes an RGB pixel format (last time I checked, on G400 or Radeon, you only had YUV pixel formats supported by Xv).
If you speak about video scaling (and not bitmap scaling), that's of course a whole other story :-)
