Hello,

I believe that the XVideo code for mach64 was brought into the DRI trunk
in the recent merge from XFree86 CVS.  It hasn't made it into the mach64
branch in DRI CVS yet, so there isn't merged XVideo and DRI support there
just yet.  I've been very busy lately so I'm not sure when I'll have a
chance to look at this.  I'd be interested to know how well the XVideo
support in the trunk works.  Has anyone tried it?
