[gentoo-catalyst] VIA Graphic card and Xorg.conf

[Luca Casagrande]

Hi folks..
I have menaged to run my livedistro on some pc (all with nvidia cards), and it 
works very fine. The problem is when the autoconfig script detect a VIA 
Graphic card, and x-setup set via as graphic driver: xorg doesn't start.
If i change it to vesa, all is working fine.
How can i solve this?
Thanks
Luca
Using Kernel 2.6.16 and xorg 6.8.2-r6

Determine *why* X won't start, and then submit a patch for x-setup to configure 
X properly :)

Thanks for your answer Andrew...
I made some test using the live cd 2006 and i noticed that the same card is
recognized, but the driver is set to VESA. Is there a way to have this
feature also on my LIVE?

Bye

Use hwsetup 1.0 instead of 1.1, as I "fixed" it in 1.1 to use the
correct driver.  The 1.0 hwsetup wasn't "fixed" in any way.  Either
that, or you can revert my recent changes in the tree by pullign an
older revision of the hwsetup-1.1-gentoo.patch file from our viewcvs and
replacing the one in your snapshot.

This is actually an area that I've been testing on fairly recently, so
I'm not reverting it in the tree, but rather trying to fix it properly.

I've created and ebuild 1.1-r1 using the 1.1 but removing the gentoo.patch 
line inside it ( cause i saw in changelog, that is this one that correct the 
driver issue..).
Can this way be ok?
Thanks
Luca
