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

The trick is to put about three words to ggle :-).

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.
