My problem is happening with the radeon driver, that's why for now I'm 
using the VESA driver (because it works).

dlloader is a use flag for Xorg ebuild that activate the new way Xorg 
handle dynamic modules loading. I'm using it because without it the X 
server won't start on my machine, and enabling this use flag for the 
compilation was a solution I found in the gentoo forums. It seems to be 
the new and preferred way to handle module inside Xorg, but it's by 
default not activated because of some remaining bugs in circular 
dependencies (those bugs are slowly beeing resolved, of course ;-)  ).
