It's not that bad. I used the howto from

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml

and it worked pretty well. By now you can skip unmasking the packages
because they aren't hard masked anymore. Unfortunately the last via
driver (I think it was version 0.1.33) did not support hw mpeg2 for
cn400 so I had to build the driver from openchrome svn. The current
driver (0.21) should already be able to support hw mpeg2 but I am too
lazy to perform the upgrade. I am running gentoo on an Epia SP8000 as
a pvr and (except for hw mepg4) all features are working nicely.
