The driver lies.  It's not the only one, I found the IEG chips
claimed a larger window too but could not draw more than 1280 wide
as I recall.

Until HDTV came along, nobody really tested xvideo scaling circuits
with wider than 1600 I suspect, so it's harder to get than one would
think.

I don't know if ati's proprietary linux drivers help in this area.

We do need lists of "what doesn't work" to add to the lists of what
does work.
