Here, http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/x11-base/xorg-server/?hideattic=0

But it won't be compatible with the libraries and headers shipped by Portage, so that's a lost cause.

Also 1.5.x is about to be removed, leaving only 1.6 and above to tree.

I suggest xf86-video-nv or a new card.
