Ok Slackware 14.1 is out, and I just want to share my experience.
After a fresh install, a kernel upgrade to 3.12 and a mesa recompile with --with-vdpau my system have radeon DPM and basic vdpau acceleration.
It is based on GL shader instead of UVD but is better than nothing.
Some forums mentioned that adding this line

to /etc/adobe/mms.cfg forces flash to use video decoding acceleration. With my current system it simple lead to a plugin crash, because mesa 9.1.7 only supports video rendering and mpeg video decoding. So I compiled mesa 9.2.2, without touching in other package. Luckily there was not a ABI break and everything is working fine.
In summary, it is simple to have the latest mesa driver with Slackware 14.1.
To take full advantage of radeon driver just upgrade the kernel and compile mesa to 9.2.2.
