Thanks for your responses.  Currently our work has gone as far as,
implementing Xv.  XvMC might work, and if you feel brave please test and
get back to us on your success.  The K8M890 uses a different 3D engine,
which looks to be non-backwards compatible with the code for unichrome
in Mesa.  We are waiting on VIA for some spec sheets to help get
hardware opengl acceleration working.  For now you will have to settle
for hardware video playback.
