I tried compiling VIA Unichrome suppport in the kernel, but the kernel version of via_drv.o doesn't move out of /usr/src. xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 doesn't compile via_drv.o and my X is performing very badly! What I don't understand, is why it would work perfectly fine on FC4 and not on Gentoo with vesa driver! Thanks, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
