AMD's UVD2-based XvBA Finally Does Something On Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, ATI Radeon customers under Linux
| can use XvBA, but it is not through using
| XvBA directly. AMD and Splitted Desktop
| Systems have been collaborating to develop
| xvba-video, which is an XvBA back-end for
| VA-API. Splitted Desktop Systems is the
| company that brought H.264 VA-API GPU video
| acceleration for Gnash, VA-API support in
| MPlayer and FFmpeg, and a NVIDIA VDPAU back-
| end for VA-API.

VIA Keeps Trying For Kernel Inclusion Of Its DRM
,----[ Quote ]
| Last December the Linux folks at VIA
| Technologies had released their Chrome 9
| series DRM code, which is needed for Linux
| 3D support with these newer-generation VIA
| IGPs, but this initial version ended up
| getting rejected from inclusion into the
| mainline kernel on the basis of the rest of
| VIA's 3D stack for the Chrome 9 being
| closed-source and some problems with the
| code itself. The situation was similar to
| that of Intel's Poulsbo DRM being rejected
| from reaching the mainline Linux kernel
| earlier this year.
