'The ATI VHA Software Development Kit will be available for use by recognized software developers from March 2000 onwards through the ATI Registered Developer Program, and comprises an MPEG-2 accelerated driver and sample code for MPEG-2 playback. Although the sample code will be released open source, the MPEG-2 driver will be released in binary format in order to maintain DVD security.'

I wonder what happened to Loki's efforts of supporting this in SMPEG though? -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
