I wanted to help out in this project, and found helpful information in this
thread :)

I have a box with an r530 card, and tested the radeonhd driver a couple of
months ago and I got it working. I know C, and could probably follow any
code. I've also done some assembly before, so I'm not afraid to play with
registers. I'm ready to learn any new things to get the job done.

So I'm looking for things to do for either r530 or something else. XVideo
support looks interesting. Or I could probably try to fix some bugs. There
is also a TV near the box with r530, so I could probably test TV Out :)

One small question, do I need a r6xx card to work on r6xx drivers?

In theory no, but it's a bit hard to test your changes without hardware :)
