Thanks for the comments on KMS and radeonhd.
I have tested KMS with a radeon 7000 card and it is not working - Xserver crash in the drm code with a warning message from the kernel at the same time.
Obviously this is not the right list to report it -- should I forward a report and logs to the xorg-driver-ati email list?
OK, so I should take a look at gallium. I see that on the web there are some documents taking a very general look at gallium, but there seems to be very little describing the internal workings. I presume I am going to have to look at the code to learn about it? Ahh - I see there is a docs directory in mesa/src/gallium. I'll take a look at that.
Cheers

Is there any intention to get KMS into radeonhd? That is something I am
planning to test over the next couple of weeks but I note that I am limited
to the ati driver.
I don't know of any concrete plans to add kms support to radeonhd
(although it's been mentioned a few times), but I'm not sure the work
is worth the effort.

I had indicated an interest in implementing the DCT and motion estimation on
the shader units to provide hardware acceleration of MPEG video some time
back. I have been far too busy and haven't even done any background work
whatsoever to learn about the shader units. I presume this is still up in
the air and that there is no serious effort yet to implement such features,
right?
There's been some work to implement video decode acceleration in mesa
via gallium. In that case, video decode acceleration would just work
on any gallium driver. Currently the r300 gallium driver (for
r3xx-r5xx radeons) is fairly far along, but the r600 one has barely
started; mostly just some experiments.
