Yes.

For this you will have to wait a little, still.

R5xx / RS690 (including RS740) are supported EXA/XAA/TexturedVideo and
3D wise. R5xx cards may  be a little hard to come by.
With shadowFB I found video pretty fast even under 1920x1200 full screen
(not tear free though). Considering this you may just want to wait
a little longer until acceleration is also supported for your card.
