The intel q35 is much too new to work on xorg 6.8.2. Probably your
best bet is to get the vesa driver working. Read the output of the log
file to ensure that the Device section referencing Driver "vesa" is
being used. You can also try running the server with -logverbose n
where n is greater than 3 to get some more information.

Updating to a newer Xorg might be a challenge, but newer releases of
the intel driver do support that graphics hardware.
