Howdy,

What is vtlnbasics? Are you compiling with pdftex? In fact, unless you  
are using dvipdfm(x) you don't need to specify the driver; geometry  
will figure it out.

Finally, you are using a package called vtlnlasche but creating a  
package called fvlasche. At least that is what you are presenting above.

Good Luck,
