Currently running kernel DRM-Next 3.11. I am thinking about installing Mesa 9.2 from here and following these instructions myself:
I have a some questions, I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and to do this do I need to uninstall my current Mesa version or just install the one from git; and what if I want to uninstall, how would I go about removing the git version and installing ubuntu's official version? Do I simply run make uninstall in the extracted zip folder?

If you did the overwrite thing, you will have to reinstall the Ubuntu packages if you want them back - dont make uninstall, you mught break the x server.
Note - if you want to use the new dpm/uvd stuff you will need libdrm (2.4.46 or something), xserver-xorg-video-radeon(7.2 if im not mistaken) too at a newer version.
PS I install the git version and i overwrite the default mesa on Debian. I never had any problems doing it.

Also when I start playback of a video on youtube I get a syslog entry:
Code:switching from power state: ui class: performance internal class: none ... switching to power state: ui class: none internal class: uvd ...

Do UVD clocks take priority over high-performance clocks?
For example, it's a pretty known issue that on Windows, if you play a game (high-performance clocks), and open up Flash Player content (Adobe), it will drop both the core and memory clocks to UVD media clocks, leading to lower-performance of the game, and possibly causing system-wide instability on multi-monitor setups.
