Radeon XvMc support
Hi Does anyone know (or have some contacts at ATI that knows) what the current status of XvMc hardware support for radeon cards is? I'm using a fanless EPIA 5000 with fanless Radeon 9200SE PCI and really need this for smooth dvd playback. Thanks in advanced! -Andreas ps.

Ati hasn't released the databooks for the xvmc stuff on their chips (could be a license issue -- perhaps they licensed it from a 3rd party?). anyway, they did provide a binary module with their DDK, but at the moment, that's it. FWIW, the via and savage drivers have (apparently) working XvMC implementations. the one for savage compiles with the savage-2-0-0-branch in DRI cvs, however, I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet.

Is the DDK available somewhere except passing the ATI developer relation lottery test? Not that I know of. You have to be registered with ATI to access it.
