You mean x11-drivers/xf86-video-via-0.1.33.2 ? It's far too old for=20 the 800 chips. And openchrome doesn't do regular releases (see=20 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D147425) so if you want it=20 working, you'll need to build from SVN. http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=3DCompiling+the+s= ource+code > In fact, all I really=20 > 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 Then simply use the vesa driver. At depth 16 it should work=20 perfectly. 3D acceleration will not really work on the 800 chips=20 anyway: the Mesa stuff for the unichrome is unmaintained and there=20 is a bug in the textures code that trips up the 800s.
