I have the same problem. Board is DG45FC with G45 chipset and X4500HD graphics. Follow the instructions to the letter, but nothing seems to make it work.

I was able to enable VAAPI on this board in the past, but I did so many things in order to make it work that I could never know what action was the correct one.

Any clues to make the DG45FC work with VAAPI?
