Radeon Driver Gets Textured Video (Xv)
Posted by Michael Larabel on February 23, 2008
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.
