Ok, actually i needed to symlink the vdpau driver to r600 vaapi was looking
for.
The real problem is this is not working

1) chromium doesn't accelerate html5 videos
2) vlc cannot reproduce at all h264 some videos leaving a black screen,
while audio runs. some other mp4 it can reproduce but using a huge amount
of cpu (50%), while in sw mode it uses 10% (mplayer2 too in sw mode)

Sounds really buggy and unusable
