Major rewrite of X radeon driver. All-in-Wonder cards require a portion of 
video memory (preferably dynamically allocated) for video capture or playback.

Also, video playback requires overlay scalar unit - which thus must be 
shared with Xserver's XvPutImage functionality.

It is simply much easier to implement video-in support in the same place 
the rest of Radeon driver resides.

                         best
