Subject: XFree on Ultra5 with PGX (Raptor)

    Hi folks.

    I have a small problem here. I have an Ultra 5 (AXi) sitting under my Desk
    and installed Linux. It has a Raptor Graphics card (Permedia 2) but no
    Xserver will start. xf86config is totally Intel centered, sax won't even
    start up and running both the Xsun or Xsun24 servers by hand (just
    starting them up) gives me a "Killed.."

    The servers die at
     
    open("/dev/fb", O_RDWR) = 6
    ioctl(6, FBIOGATTR <unfinished ...>

    (last line from strace)

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Thanks in advance

    Falk

    p.s. on my Ss10 at home, everything works like a charm... so I'm a bit
    puzzled here ;)
