My Ubuntu 12.04 running on HP Probook 6465b is also affected. I managed
to sort of fix it and get HW accelerated playback in VLC and mplayer by
manualy putting "fglrx_drv_video.so" in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/.
I took it from the package xvba-video_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb. HW accelerated
playback is confirmed by vainfo and lower cpu usage.
$ vainfo
libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
