You won't get video acceleration with the open source drivers on HD4xxx yet but if you use the -x11 output you should get OK video playback performance.
EDIT - just saw rbmorse's post; if radeonhd in 8.10 works just use that.
I mean Catalyst 8.10 will surly have xorg 7.4 support, right?Last edited by oblidor; 05 October 2008, 05:23 AM.

If you are running 8.10, and Ubuntu has not yet packaged up a driver that runs on HD48xx, you can download and build a driver yourself :
