I just have the Arch mainline packages installed - their Mesa 10.5.1 does not ship with gallium_drv_video / r600_drv_video / radeonsi_drv_video, and none of the main repo packages provide any of them according to pkgfile. I'll put it on my todo list to try it whenever they enable the vaapi tracker on Gallium in the stable packages, though.
Like I said, I really don't care if I have hardware accelerated h264 or not since I have an i7 that barely uses 4% cpu to decode 60 fps 1080p anyway, and hardware accelerated video is just a huge insane horrible mess (is anyone ever going to just adopt openmax for encode / decode and be done with it?) that I'd rather not bother trying anymore.
