You need Xvideo-Extensions. xvinfo for test.
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
  Adaptor #0: "ATI Radeon Video Overlay"
    number of ports: 1

This works for me only with XFree86-CVS.

lspci Output:
00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA])

bye
