It's unlikely anyone has CX700 doing mpeg2 hardware acceleration, 
because we now know it uses a new engine, which is currently not supported.

The agpgart CX700 pci id fix needs to be sent upstream.

drm 2.11.0 is the latest known good version, 2.11.1 is causing troubles.
drm from kernel >= 2.6.19 is ok too.
Mesa is unrelated here, it only handles 3D.

No support for CX700 outside of the experimental_branch.

Only xine, mplayer (plus patches) and mythtv support XvMC VLD at the moment.
