Oh! So it is supported? I do not have this chipset/motherboard and I
have not done any testing. I hope I did not come across as though I had.
I was trying to figure out if it would work before I purchased.

I see, so the Radeon XPRESS 200 Chipset would have 2d only. Thats a
bummer. I was hoping to write a project with a video layer and alpha
blended rectangles on another layer over it. Seems to me that would
require 3d acceleration at the very least to play back the video.
