I think we have a failure to communicate here.... The via_drv I am talking about is an _x.org_ driver, not a kernel driver. It has nothing to do with the kernel sources or rebuilding the kernel. It should exist at /usr/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o (along with all other X11 drivers). I don't understand why you don't have this file. The only case this should be missing is if you have USE=minimal. Could you please post the output of "emerge -pv xorg-x11"? Once you have this file, then you will need to update your xorg.conf Device section and change the Driver option to "via". The kernel has a DRM driver for via, that (if compiled as a module) will be installed under /lib/modules as "via.ko". To load that, you will modify /etc/autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to add the line "via". However, again, this is only for DRI/DRM support, and will almost certainly require using the X11 via driver, so let's worry about that later! -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
