[gentoo-user] Via UniChrome Pro and Xorg

Hello all.

I am building a system which has the Unichrome Pro IGP video chipset
(Via P4M800 Northbridge) and I cannot for the life of me get the via
driver for Xorg 7.x to work. In fact, all I really need (as this system
will be my mother's when I'm done with it) is a simple 2D display with
16bit color because she, most likely, will not be using anything
accellerated but if I could ever get that rolling, it wouldn't be bad.
But, first things first. I'm no stranger to X, etc. I've gotten several
computers flowing nicely with it but this is confusing me. Yes, I have
everything configured correctly in the kernel, everything seems to come
up and get detected, but outside of a basic 1, 2, 4, 8, whatever bit
display (which I think I might have gotten with the vga driver through a
test config with one of the config utilities) I've got nothing. My
mother's current system (which I set up, which is also not with me at
the moment) is running some 16bit svga 2D setup which I can't seem to
reproduce off the top of my head (She's running Xorg < 7.x, though).

Does anyone have a working config for this chipset or know of some
pointers which I obviously have not tried yet?
