That's the correct interpretation of the error message from
system-config-display -- but LVM itself doesn't require any video.
Depending on what you want to use the machine for, configuring LVM by
command-line or by GUI may make more sense. On the other hand, if
you're in learning mode, by all means, do it both ways!

P.S. As a starting point for the command-line way, try "man lvresize".
Also, there are a lot of good howto documents on LVM out there.
