Hi,

it was me who posted success with the drivers from the link above. It 
was just one post before your initial question, you might have missed it.

It worked perfectly, I installed the package from above page, started a 
script that is inside that package, which adds the necessary repository 
and from there, installs all the necessary packages and versions that 
you need to run vaapi acceleration. At least, for me it did, on ubuntu 
12.04.

It works with Ubuntu 12.x and Fedora.

Try it, I would be interested in hearing if you were successful.

Regards,

Matthias
