Yet you get working 2D (including Xv, which is what you probably care about the most) and 3D acceleration in the Free (as in speech) radeon driver with that chipset. As for XvMC, that card doesn't have a UVD chip (only the Radeon HD cards do), so you don't get XvMC even with the proprietary driver. When have you last tried the Free radeon driver? If it was before r5xx acceleration was added (in the F9 updates around June), then of course it was slow back then, try it again now. Oh, and some news from the Radeon HD world: http://airlied.livejournal.com/64691.html :-) Not ready for production use yet though... And probably no XvMC.
