The XVideo stuff for mach64 does not work on ppc in the current X, and
using the GATOS stuff helped immensely, although I still don't have
the performance on my Lombard to play DVDs, oh well. Before GATOS I
got about 55% frames deocded, after I get about 77% frames decoded. I
wonder if I'd be able to get a 23% increase, without altivec? seems
unlikely.
Oh yeah, I also pulled the endian related patch from the xfree source:
