I don't use it, but it looks like I got a via_drv on my install of xorg-x11. Which version of xorg-x11, and what USE flags? carcharias rjf # locate via_drv /usr/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o /usr/src/linux-2.6.14/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.c /usr/src/linux-2.6.14/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-suspend2-r5/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.c /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-suspend2-r5/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.h carcharias rjf # equery belongs /usr/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o in *... ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 (/usr/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o) carcharias rjf # emerge -vp x11-base/xorg-x11 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
