according to the launchpad page:
=== Using VDPAU/XvMC accelerated video ===
Supported XvMC drivers: softpipe, r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau
Supported VDPAU drivers: softpipe, r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau
how do I know that I'm using the radeonsi drivers? is there an *. so file for that or is this the default? for the /XvMCConfig file?
i see the entries in /usr/lib/dri for all except radeonsi -- this is why i ask.

I don't compile myself, thus I'm on the "official" track.
Today I updated Xorg, now white screen if VDPAU and Mixer are ON, but the video plays if only Mixer is ON

I'm with official releases, waiting for the new Mesa, installed yesterday and noticed big improvement to response in guy and low CPU usage. Vdpau give white or green screen.
In the mean time, can the OP update the kernel with aufs support too? Its not enabled, I was using it to join multiple HDs.
Thanks

@nihues: no - if you have advanced needs, that go beyond standard Ubuntu kernel config, you have to build yourself.
@all: There was another build problem in mesa, which got fixed two mins ago - so fabio needs to rebuild the ppa again.

There is a reason I tell to use 3.11.
3.12-rc4 has a bug, that does not go to the max UVD clock, which is not fixed yet.

Did not assume so :-) All fine for my part.

That's indeed a vanilla kernel with Ubuntu kernel config. I did not like that the ubuntu guys need ages to port pointreleases to their saucy kernel tree... but i can in deed build the normal ubuntu git source in the future, would be even easier to maintain, as I can use git.
