xf86-video-intel 2.0.0 and Xvideo

I've ran into something I didn't expect. I've been doing video to the 
vga or dvi output of my i915 laptop using the overlay adapter to get 
brightness/contrast/etc .  I just switched over to the LDVS (disabling 
the other monitors in xorg.conf), and found that I get nothing but blue 
screen where the overlay should be on the display. In this configuration 
  pipe A is shown as off, and the LDVS goes to pipe B.

If I enable both the VGA and LDVS, the VGA gets A and the LDVS gets B 
and overlay video only goes to VGA.

So can only pipe A do overlay video and the LDVS only can use pipe B?

Are shaders for the textured adapter on anyones roadmap?

In a somewhat unrelated question it appears to me that running VGA and 
LDVS simultaneously gives you a cloned display with the resolution modes 
of the LDVS. Are there any other options for running both at once?
