Anyway. The VIA Unichrome situation turned out to be a no-go for me. I had to install an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 on the machine and get X running. I think this whole thread and me compiling various Xorg versions about 8 or 9 times was a waste of time. Because as it turns out, fluxbox, even on the nvidia drivers took ages to open xcalc and such. The only difference was that, the mouse pointer moved properly with nvidia drivers when fluxbox was trying to open xcalc. With vesa, the pointer lagged like hell! Something interesting did happen though. I had that "Unknown device" in my lspci output for both Gentoo and FC4 when I was on VIA Unichrome. Now after switching to nvidia, I can see a Host Bridge properly identified in its place. I wonder why that would be? I still am confused about one thing though... which exactly is the 2D driver for VIA Unichrome? I apologise to those who wasted their time reading this thread and replying in it.. but I found the problem worth investigating and I am still intrigued by it.. Regards and a sincere thanks, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
