On my old 9600 there seems to be a vsync issue - so I guess it's the 
r300 drivers problem. It does work, but testing fullscreen with yadif=1 
at refresh rate it looks like it's running too slow. It may also be just 
luck that vdpau works with the same test as 1920x1080 may be stretching 
the limits of the hw.

I noticed when mesa went from classic to gallium the only benchmark that 
was lower was -vo gl.

Ahh, OK that's newer than anything I have and it does seem like they are 
still getting up to speed with support for the newer cards.
