    Classification: Unclassified

Please support H.264 on AMD Evergreen GPUs.

I have a AMD Radeon HD 5670 graphicscard and Xine claims that the "hardware"
does not support H.264:
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.7.
(c) 2000-2010 The xine Team.
vo_vdpau: vdpau API version : 1
vo_vdpau: vdpau implementation description : G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library
version 1.0
[…]
vo_vdpau: this hardware doesn't support h264.
vo_vdpau: this hardware doesn't support vc1.
vo_vdpau: this hardware doesn't support mpeg4-part2.

But AMD claims [1] it does:
ATI Avivo HD Video & Display technology
[…]
* Support for H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, and Adobe Flash

I assume the VDPAU component of xf86-video-ati-6.14.6 lacks support for this
feature?
