I believe libva mostly supports gen4 and up. Pineview is supposed to be gen3. Perhaps XVMC may still work for it though. In general don't buy hardware unless you know the driver supports your desired features. I should have listened to myself when I got a G45 and had the hope the h264 decoding support wouldn't take too long...
