Just wondering why it appears so many are complaining about lack of video accelaration? I have 2 systems here one has an Invidia GTX 560 running the closed src driver, the other has a 5870, the both systems are running Debian stable the later using the default Open Src driver. Both play HD 1920x1080 videos with no problems. Both take around the same CPU power that being around 30 to 45 % of a single CPU, 4 CPU's being present, the decoding process only taking aproc 10% of the totla power avaible.
A staff member of one of the local computor shops here that has been in business with the same staff for nearly 20 years now said recently they are getting around 6 people a day, this in a country area total population 50,000 or so, asking for the fastest system possible JUST to play videos. Where did people get the idea that playing videos requires SO much steam.
