Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks; I'll probably wait then. I was thinking the xvideo support was
still pretty far away (as in 1+ years rather than a few weeks/months),
but from what I gather above it's a bit closer than that.

Regardless, while I'm posting anyway - thank you very much for working
on the driver. And thanks to AMD/ATI for releasing the specs and
making this possible. It is *very* much appreciated.
