I havnt compiled yet, but things are looking better for those of us with ATI cards :)

You mean ATI and GMA 500 (Poulsbo), and perhaps S3 Chrome. I wonder when we'll see hardware decoding support for Intel's own GMA architecture on Linux. That would make Clarksdale a lot more interesting to me.

A link to the Phoronix discussion could be helpful too: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19983
Looks like hardware decoding on Radeon HD 5xxx is not yet supported.

well lucky for me, i have a 4850.
I will go and try to compile this weekend. Currently I only have the RadeonHD drivers installed, but i suppose I will need the proprietary ATI drivers.

Do the newest drivers have support? or do i still need the hotfix?
