I expect the sequence of available support will be EXA, then Xv, then 3D
in that order. EXA and Xv might show up at the same time, depends how
things go and what else is happening at the same time.

The reason for the sequence is that EXA requires the smallest changes,
then Xv, and 3D is the largest. It's not so much that "the 6xx/7xx
specific changes for 3D are bigger than they are for 2D", just that
updating the 3D driver for any new chip requires that more stuff be
changed compared to 2D.

And will I then finally have xvideo support on my RS780?  Or is that
another step after the basic 3d support is there?
