[. . . ] A Raptor card is presently installed in the workstation/server (See Chapter 2 for instructions on installing a Raptor graphics card). Linux Kernel v2. 2. x or v2. 4. x installed XFree86 (v4. 0 or later) installed and configured for the current console graphics card RPM (v3. 0 or later) packaging tools The device driver and DDX module for Linux and XFree86 are loadable. 4-1 Raptor Drivers for Linux Installation and Reference Manual The software has been fully tested under Red Hat 7. 3, Red Hat 8. 0, Red Hat 9. 0, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit, and SuSE 8. 2. Updating or recompiling the kernel or the XFree86 distribution may cause the driver and DDX to fail to load. In this case, please contact our technical support team for a possible solution (See Chapter 7). The software consists of the following modules: raptfp. o rap1kt. o rap2kt. o rapifp. o rapt_drv. o libMOX. a Kernel driver for the Raptor 2500T Kernel driver for the Raptor 1100T Kernel driver for the Raptor 2100T Kernel driver for the Raptor 3840T XFree86 DDX module MOX extension module 4. 3 CD-ROM Installation NOTE: Rebooting the system after the Raptor card installation may cause the auto configuration manager to come up in some distributions. Refer to Section 4. 6 to configure the Raptor card after the software is installed. The following are step by step instructions for installing the Raptor Drivers for Linux from a CD-ROM. Insert the CD-ROM labeled "Raptor Drivers for Linux" into the drive. If the drive is already mounted, type: prompt# cd /mnt/cdrom/linux/t-class 4-2 Chapter 4 ­ Software Installation for T-Class Cards 4. If the CD-ROM is not already mounted, type: prompt# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom prompt# cd /mnt/cdrom/linux/t-class 5. For information on downloading, installing, and using the RPM utility, please refer to Red Hat's website and the related FAQ and HOWTO. NOTE: If the currently installed version of the "Raptor Drivers for Linux" software is older than v2. 0, the older version must be removed before installing the new version. To verify that the device drivers were loaded correctly, type: prompt# cat /proc/modules | grep rap It should show the entry for the Raptor device drivers similar to the following: rap1kt rap2kt raptfp rapifp 29712 35056 33364 36272 0(unused) 0(unused) 0(unused) 0(unused) 4-3 Raptor Drivers for Linux Installation and Reference Manual 8. To install the MOX package, type: prompt# cd /mnt/cdrom/linux/moxlib prompt# rpm -Uvh tsimox-*. rpm NOTE: You must install the MOX package if you plan on running the cards in MOX mode. The MOX package is common to both I-Class and T-Class cards. 4. 4 New Device One new device name is created in the /dev directory for each Raptor card. It is denoted by rap2kt# for the Raptor 2100T, raptfp# for the Raptor 2500T and rapifp# for Raptor 3840T and rap1kt# for the Raptor 1100T where # represents an instance number assigned by the operating system. For example, /dev/rap2kt0 is the first Raptor 2100T card seen by the system. /dev/rap2kt1 will be the second Raptor 2100T card seen by the system and so on. 4. 5 Changing Resolution The resolutions for Raptor 2100T and Raptor 2500T are fixed. The resolution of the 1100T and Raptor 3840T can be changed by changing the value of the Modes field in the Screen section of XF86Config. See Section 5. 7 for more information.

For documentation on how to install and configure your VGA/SVGA card, please refer to the XFree86 documentation. [. . . ] A list of supported resolutions along with their corresponding timing numbers is available in the file /etc/X11/tsi_modeline. Extract the desired entry from /etc/X11/tsi_modeline and insert it into the Monitor section as shown. Section "Monitor" Identifier "CustomMonitor" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 31 - 90 VertRefresh 55 ­ 120 ModeLine "VESA1152x900x85" 121 1152 1216 1344 1568 900 901 904 947 +HSYNC +VSYNC In addition, the option "Modes" in the Screen section should be changed to match the name of the resolution in the ModeLine field of the Monitor section as shown below. Please ensure that in the Monitor section, the HorzSync and VertRefresh fields are set to values that are supported by the monitor and correspond to the desired resolution. In this example the resolution is set to VESA1152x900x85 in 8-bit mode.
