That said, I suddenly have working 2D acceleration on my Radeon HD 5470. 
I have no idea what changed. I am in the middle of updating several 
hundred ports, including the X bump from 7.5 to 7.5.1 but have *not* 
updated the ATI driver to 6.14.0 yet. I just updated a random subset of 
ports, rebooted because I wanted to flash the BIOS to a newer version - 
and suddenly my desktop is snappy, video playback works at full HD 
resolution. I am quite surprised - in a very positive way.
