Maybe because you didn't report it? We can't fix things we don't know
about.

BTW, the dri-devel list isn't the best place to discuss this; there's a
xorg-driver-ati list dedicated to xf86-video-ati discussion, moving
there.

So, it sounds like XVideo is broken for you using the overlay but works
using the textured adaptor. What exactly are the symptoms without this
patch? E.g., does the video player application fail/crash, or does the
video content just display incorrectly, ...?

As with any X server/driver issue, please provide the full xorg.conf and
Xorg.0.log files.
