Is there anyway to do hardware-accelerated video decoding on the GMA 4500MHD? I've got Linux 2.6.29, X Server 1.6.2, and DDX driver 2.8.0.

There's some initial support for MPEG2 decoding, see here for more information: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...st/003708.html
And for H264 and VC1, they plan to support it soon: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...st/003721.html

While I understand the most popular formats will always take precedence, I still wish they'd add support for Free codecs in addition to the non-free ones.
