Thanks to everybody for the help.
Ok, we are closing up... it seems my video card needs the via driver included in XFree 4.3.xx. I have taken a look to the ebuild for xfree-4.3.0-r4, and I have found the following lines, all of them commented out:
# mirror://gentoo/XFree86-4.3.0-drivers-via-${VIADRV_VER}.tar.bz2"
# ebegin "Adding VIA driver"
# cd ${WORKDIR}
# unpack XFree86-${PV}-drivers-via-${VIADRV_VER}.tar.bz2
# cd ${S}
# eend 0# Compile the VIA driver
# echo "#define XF86ExtraCardDrivers via" >> config/cf/host.def
Could somebody from the Gento team comment on this, please? Could I have this driver compiled just including those lines in the ebuild? Has this been commented out due to some bug?
Thanks, regards Jose

Ok, you have impressed me, but... how the $#@ do you know this device is the KM400 chipset? I really would like to know :o)
The trick is to put about three words to goooogle :-). This URL occured: http://www.pcidatabase.com/vendor_details.php?id=648
Do you know which settings should I use to properly use this video card, or must I stick to the vesa driver?
Since I never played with it, I can just give u an advice: Visit www.via.com.tw (look for linux drivers). VIA is taking much more care about linux users as other chinese co.'s, so 4 sure u'll find relevant info.
