I have 2D Radeon drivers for XFree86 4.2.0, 4.1.0 and DRI tcl branch that are
based on current XFree86 CVS radeon code + some XVideo stuff from gatos +
a radeon_cursor.c fix that was dropped inadvertently from recent XFree86 CVS
(try moving mouse cursor along the left edge of the screen). 

I had confirmations that my driver works on Radeon 8500 for XVideo.

I've been testing tcl code for a long time on my Radeon QD (the first Radeon
with TCL support). The only newer Radeon that uses TCL code from tcl branch
is 7500.
