I've followed steps in this guide. Here is output of 'vainfo' command:

libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

I have Catalyst 12.6 driver installed (from debs). Also I've fixed switchable graphics bug, using this guide (STEP 2). I've tried to add 'LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=xvba LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/va/drivers' to /etc/environment and rebooted system, but the result was the same. PLEASE HELP! :) Thanks! :]

I've found the solution! Executing following will create a link to required file:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/xvba_drv_video.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so

Yay!
