 Hi,
 
 Now that the KMS stuff has arrived (thanks for that!), I'm looking
 at this device from Shuttle http://axcco.com/xs35v3.html. It has an
 Atom D2550 with Intel GMA 3650 Graphic engine, should it work as
 well as the Pineview series Atoms do in displaying Xvideo output?

No, this along with GMA 500/600 and 3600 is PowerVR based.
Even the experimental and incomplete drm driver is GPL
licensed so we'll never touch it.  Thankfully Intel is
ditching the PowerVR parts in the valleyview atoms that
are supposedly coming out later this year.

No. Only video with D/Nxxx (three digit) Atoms may work, if it's
the regular onboard chipset intel video. A lot of them are nvidia ion,
which is bad news too, obviously. 4 digit models are crazy powervr video.

Thanks Ted and Jonathan, I would have wasted $200 without that info! 
Looks like the ancient core2duo will be playing movies for a while longer.

The new ValleyView Atom coming out in a few months will finally replace
the PowerVR cores being used in the past with the platform with a Gen7
(Ivy Bridge) core.
