If you're using Xgl, you're not using the native XVideo support of the
driver, but the one using pixel shaders / fragment programs implemented
in Xgl. However, as the intel driver still doesn't support FBOs or
pBuffers (AFAIK the support is still only in the according branch, and I
don't know much about its state), everything will we software for you.

I think Keith is talking about the driver specific XVideo implementation
- you will get that with AIGLX only.

Just updated this - the bug seems to be fixed.
