I think files attached within the forum interface are not properly sent 
to the ML.

theboomboomcars, the log file you are attaching is still not from an 
openchrome SVN. The via driver you compiled was probably not installed 
in a place your X server can find it. Please check your xorg.conf and 
possibly add a ModulePath "path" that match the installation location in 
the Files section, or alternatively, fix your compile options to have 
the driver installed in the proper place ( ./configure --prefix=/usr or 
the like for example). Copying the module you already compiled to the 
proper place will work too.
