It should have some sort of radeon - no hardware 3D support ( because  
our DRM code doesn't work on non-x86 ) but video overlays should work  
and so should audio. IIRC the xf86-video-radeon driver knows how to  
set up TV output and such, no idea if that works on non-x86 or if it  
depends on BIOS calls.

have fun
