You mean x11-drivers/xf86-video-via-0.1.33.2 ? It's far too old for |
| 7 |
the 800 chips. And openchrome doesn't do regular releases (see |
| 8 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147425) so if you want it |
| 9 |
working, you'll need to build from SVN. |

Then simply use the vesa driver. At depth 16 it should work |
| 19 |
perfectly. 3D acceleration will not really work on the 800 chips |
| 20 |
anyway: the Mesa stuff for the unichrome is unmaintained and there |
| 21 |
is a bug in the textures code that trips up the 800s. |
