    Perhaps for other cards, but there's still no native Xv support for
    Mach64-based adaptors (such as the Rage Mobility M1 fitted to many
    laptops) in 4.3, you need the GATOS drivers for this.

    (The M6 fitted to many slighly later laptops is a completely different
    chipset
    that uses the Radeon driver, IIRC. Love it when Marketing pull BS like
    this)
