after reading the kernel config it indeed appears that CONFIG_FB_VIA has not been set. After reading the guide once again I saw that in the article the 'savedconfig' USE flag is being set on per ...

The kernel needs CONFIG_FB_VIA. Normally we say no FB_* drivers, but this old system has no other option.

I set VIDEO_CARDS to via and emerged x11-libs/libX11, x11-base/xorg-server, x11-apps/xinit, x11-libs/libXrandr, x11-libs/libXft, x11-apps/xrdb, x11-apps/mesa-proogs, x11-apps/xrandr, x11-drivers ...
