GLX & those unichrome drivers again...

hi! i'm not sure where to post this, bitt i'll try here;
so i bought me one of those via epia mini tix thingies (VIA EPIA ML6000EA to be exact)

But i'm having some difficulties configuring it.
it's all about this Unichrome X11 driver: i had a hell of a time setting it up (all patching etc done manually :/), but now that i hoped i made it, i i finally got this message:
minitux linux # glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual

visual x bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer ms cav
id dep cl sp sz l ci b ro r g b a bf th cl r g b a ns b eat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
0x21 24 tc 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None
i guess this proves the GLX module is fucked.
i followed the tutorial on gentoo-wiki.com/Unichrome, chose the stable patched version of X.org (6.8.2).

everything boots up just fine, but the GLX thingy just doesn't want to function. how come?

here's my kernel .config:
http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=09V3 ... ETTPLUQ5EO

and xorg.conf:
http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3NPP ... YHF19Y55XU

(sorry for sending the files in such a stupid way)

thanks a lot in advance!

ok at least the glx thingy doesn't fail anymore. (some config work to be done)

but the problem now is that i don't have hardware acceleration aka. Direct Rendering. even here i did exactly as the guide on gentoo-wiki.com told me, but still no render.

(triablo@minitux) (~) glxinfo |grep rendering
direct rendering: No

anyone familiar with the case, or maybe even able to give me some up2date info? (the wiki thingies and tutorials seem quite old and obsolete)

again, thanks in advance!
