What do you mean by not being able to load vlc? What does vlc -vvv
give you?

You have the standard CLE266 graphics controller. The VT8623CE is
the northbridge.

Your xorg.conf should look something like this,

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Videocard0"
         Driver      "via"
         VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
         BoardName   "Via Castle Rock"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Videocard0"
         Monitor    "Monitor0"
         DefaultDepth    24
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     24
                 Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
         EndSubSection
EndSection



You can use vlc -V x11 and vlc -V xvideo to experiment with two
different video output methods.
