To see what you've configured, please post the output of 'egrep "AGP|DRM|VIA" /usr/src/linux/.config'. > > Is the via driver present on your FC4? And if so, have you > > tried using it there?

You don't want the via driver for now, use the vesa one. But you were complaining that Gentoo didn't have the Xorg via driver installed, that's why I asked if FC4 did. I guess not, as probably it doesn't work for 64 bits, which is why FC4 uses the vesa driver. To help a bit more: post the output of 'emerge --info'. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
