lspci should show you what video card you have. Look for VGA or something
like that. For example on my system:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285]
(rev a1)
So for me, I'd use either the nv or nvidia driver. Also, don't you have a
video card section in xorg.conf? If you are using vesa or something then put
that into your VIDEO_CARDS var.

OK, but a quick google on `site:<a href="http://gentoo.org" target="_blank">gentoo.org</a> VIDEO_CARDS' didn't turn up<br>
a way to determine what card is on the machine. At least not a<br>
