Your driver is too old, please use latest release. And if you want Xv on
the VX900, please use git master.

How is your screen hooked up to the IGP ? HDMI or VGA ? If HDMI, it will
need an xorg conf with Option "ActiveDevices" "DFP" and is not
quarantied to work anyway. VGA should work out of the box though.

Update the driver then send the xorg log.

Indeed, if the driver doesn't know about your IGP, how could he detect
it and moreover make anything useful out of it ?

Welcome to the list then :-)
The rules are, like on most mailing lists, plain text only mails, no top
posting, compress attached files if too big (mailman will refuses mails
above 100KB anyway).
