You've cut away the loading cycle of libextmod.so - this does handle the 
extension loading incl. xv.

It should look like this:

(II) LoadModule: "extmod"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libextmod.so
(II) Module extmod: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.7.6, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: X.Org Server Extension
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 2.0
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
(II) Loading extension X-Resource

Your chipset is AMD 780G, it's well covered by the squeeze xorg ati 
driver - you might run into problems with an unsucessfull deinstallation 
of fglrx (ati proprietary driver, if you previously installed that one) 
or if you still use a xorg.conf.

I suggest you keep KMS running if your system supports it.
