Thanks Andreas, that worked for me, I now have Xv acceleration, and I can even get reasonable desktop effects (KDE) using XRender (but not OpenGL).

It even has mitigated KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119281 (sluggishness in KMail composer, which seems to be graphics driver related).

So thanks for all the work on this, it looks good from here.

To sum up additional external changes required:

 - Jaunty kernel does need upgrade/patch to support this
 - xorg.conf needs to be present and have certain non-default options enabled - as per the link Andreas posted.
