Yes, I understand it. I saw rotation code was taken away from latest
Intel driver. Do you mean down-scaling will be support in future
version of randr, or it is already supported by randr1.2?

I happen to think the traditional "overlay" for Xvideo. Overlay buffer
is usually separated with front buffer, although rotation code is
moved to randr, it seems overlay code still needs to care about what
the current rotation degree is, and texture video may haven't this
issue.
