I'm really quite happy with it.

I have hardware accelerated video now through smplayer using the ffh264vdpau codec, and through firefox with webm and flash.
vdpau seems to be working great for Intel's latest stack.
(Just had to have some bragging rights, because it took a little time to make it all come together.)
Also perhaps to motivate anyone using Intel video, it's well worth getting vdpau-va-gl working...
