I see, it kind of makes sense in a way, but it still looks like a big mess (as is complication) just to support a new chip, but I think graphics card's driver programming is not for the faint of heart either, so it's probably not so bad.
I can't wait for everything to just go through Gallium3D, I believe it will be a major revolution on linux graphics.
As for video decoding, as GPUs get more and more general purpose, I don't think it will be that hard to implement video acceleration using complex shaders. I don't think Gallium3D would have to be modified that much, if at all... But that discussion belongs to another topic.
Thank very much for all the info, and the fast responses
