Note that this can't work with XV. The driver (I don't think it would live in the X driver though) would need to support an API designed for offloading video decoding, hence intel's proposal of VAAPI (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi). And the video players of course would need to support it too. I don't think this stuff has materialized yet... Your driver may support standard XV though for csc conversion/scaling.
