For AGP cards and r7xx cards, make sure your kernel has these patches for proper UVD support: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4f66c59922cbcda14c9e103e6c7f4ee616360d43 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4ca5a6cba53e13b8fd153b0762b4128fab6a3cfb http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=84f3d9f7b4781dea6e11dcaf7f81367c1b39fef0
