This should say something like:

via_v4l: Device name:(PCI device 1106:3122 (VIA Technologies, Inc.)), 
slot_name:01:00.0 (0x1106:0x3122) Revision:0
via_v4l: registered video device (0) corresponds to /dev/video0
via_v4l: Device name:(PCI device 1106:3122 (VIA Technologies, Inc.)), 
slot_name:01:00.0 (0x1106:0x3122) Revision:0
via_v4l: registered video device (1) corresponds to /dev/video1
via_v4l: Device name:(PCI device 1106:3122 (VIA Technologies, Inc.)),

So the DRM driver is also working (via module).

Me too! The messages above is printed very early in the loading of 
via_v4l_drv, so I'm suspecting that you might have a pciid not present in the 
driver. Could you check the pciid of the CLE266 adapter by using the lspci 
tool? Mine says:
0000:01:00.0 Class 0300: 1106:3122 (rev 03)

The supported ids should is:
1106:3122
1106:3022
1106:7205
