    The Raptor Card is not supported by SuSE Linux 7.0, because I didn't
    get one in time. SuSE Linux 7.1/SPARC will support it, but the
    X Server for this card is terrible and doesn't work very good.

    But you can find a working RPM here:
     ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kukuk/SPARC/xglint-3.3.6-0.sparc.rpm

    Install it and configure it with SaX.

    Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
    cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
