I am using the latest Xorg, Mesa from git and the Linux 4.7.2 kernel. I have an Nvdia NVA8 chipset[ion] with xorg setup to use the latest nouveau driver and it also supposed vdpau and I have the firmware...
Have you considered trying another driver option? Anything as new as GT218 is liable to work as well as if not better with modesetting than with nouveau:
