The open source driver does support video overlays, and seems to provide hardware acceleration (I see a 10x reduction in CPU usage when xv is enabled). There were issues with older kernels/XOrg (I'm not sure which) that made the open source driver very slow on amd64. These seem to have been resolved now and it works fine for 2D and video.
