Hi Chad,

We know that the rs690 is very much an r5xx modesetting wise, and we 
have the hardware sitting here and waiting for us to finally get to. I 
hope to see this happen towards the end of this week.

Support for hw video overlays is possible, as the documentation is 
available, but once again, this is an issue of time and this is 
sheduled after the more important modesetting work.

So while we don't support the rs690 family yet, this will soon happen, 
you can count on that, you just need to be slightly patient. I've been 
waiting to install this cute hardware too for about a week now :)

Thanks,
