So chase the drivers down elsewhere (under it's real model name).

pgx32
Hah - I'll admit I hadn't thought of that idea. The card is really a Techsource Raptor GFX-FP. So I went to Techsource dot com and found packages there for a GFX-8P (not clear if that's the same thing) for Solaris 8 and 9 but not 10. No inidcation of whether they're for Sparc or x86 either. But I downloaded them anyway on the off chance something there might work for me. I also sent them an email requesting help.

That link to netbsd.org opens a nice description of the pm2fb driver for PGX32 but I don't see anywhere to download it.

I did find pb2fb.c and pm2fb.h for Sparc64 over at JK's Raid (the poster still won't let me insert URL's), so I guess that's something. But now I have to compile this. I'm more of a Lisp programmer than a C programmer. I guess that will be my last resort if the techsource stuff doesn't pan out.

Thanks for the pointers.
