Edit:
There should be no need to Roll back. just install ubuntu-desktop with synaptic or apt-get, it will still use the updated packages from edgers. remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf completely, run apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, wait till it finishes, reboot and then try to follow the instructions on the first page (minus the vainfo/glxinfo part that might not work and eventually skipping the ppa stuff - but there is no harm doing that again). Removing xorg.conf and installing ubuntu-desktop should give you a working Ubuntu Desktop Edition to play with.
After that try creating/adjusting the xorg.conf, etc.
Good Luck!

My i3 530 VAAPI experience so far:
Had 4GB RAM, 2x2GB, one was defective, so after a lot of weird errors I found the defective RAM and pulled 1x2GB out of the system. Iḿ not sure if this still is the source for my problems (no dual channel RAM right now) or if its just general limitations of the I3 GPU.
Most 1080p MKVs play perfect and nice, but I got a few movies that stutter really bad. Pressing "O" I see the Framerate is between 15 and 20 most of the time. This works perfectly when I disable VAAPI and let the CPU decode the stuff.
Is 1080p perfect for everybody else and this is just me? It it a limitation? I'm quite disappointed how the I3 GPU performs right now...
