Looks like you are just missing the small firmware blob for the rs780 
chipset - you'll find it in the nonfree squeeze repository:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/firmware-linux-nonfree

*) add "non-free" to your repository lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
*) aptitude update && aptitude install firmware-linux-nonfree

Restart X, you'll notice in Xorg.0.log the small firmware binary for 
rs780 chipsets is mentioned as now being loaded, xv should be working then.
