Raptor DL-Lite Drivers for Linux Installation & Reference Manual

3-4

NOTE: You must install the MOX package if you plan on running
the cards in MOX mode. The MOX package is common to all
Raptor cards.

3.4 New

Device


One new device name is created in the

/dev

directory for each

Raptor card. It is denoted by

rapdlt#

, where

#

represents an

instance number assigned by the operating system. For
example,

/dev/rapdlt0

is the first Raptor card seen by the

system.

/dev/rapdlt1

will be the second card seen by the

system and so on.

3.5 Changing Resolution


The resolution of the Raptor DL-Lite is fixed at 2560x1600 for the
Apple LCD monitor.

3.6 Configuring XFree86 Server for PC

Graphics Hardware

This section assumes that the

XF86Config

file was configured

to work properly with your existing VGA/SVGA cards. For
documentation on how to install and configure your VGA/SVGA
card, please refer to the XFree86 documentation.


After installing the Raptor drivers, three sections will be added to
the

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

file for each type of card,

provided that the file exists in the system. Otherwise,

/etc/X11/XF86Config

will be used. If you are using another

config file, the three sections can be imported from:

/etc/X11/XF86Config.rapdlt
