Comment 37 for bug 773466

On a clean(-ish) system:
$ sudo apt-get install libva1 vainfo
<...>
Setting up vainfo (1.0.15-4) ...

$ vainfo
libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

So I do not think it got fixed... at least not for my system
