Radeon Driver Gets Textured Video (Xv)
We reported earlier today from FOSDEM that Alex Deucher had been successful in getting Textured Video (X-Video) with the Radeon driver on R300 class hardware and that the R500/600 series could even support it in the near future. Well, support for Textured Video on the R100 to R400 has today landed into the xf86-video-ati git tree. This TexturedVideo support, which can be used by any video player that supports using X-Video, was derived from Eric Anholt's KDrive ATI video code. If you're an R100-400 owner interested in improved open-source video playback, be sure to check out the latest code and report your results. This commit today doesn't introduce the support for the R500/600 series quite yet.
