Issues after moving gfx card

Hello,

I have a Sun V880 and a raptor gfx -8p today i installed a lsi card and had to use the pci slot that the gfx was using as it needed a 5v rail,

after doing so i did a reconfigure boot with boot -r and now i no longer have a functioning display

Im probably missing something simple, am i supposed to tell x11 to use the same card on a different port?

when i run x11 from the command line it states
Code:
X Window System Version 1.3.0

Also i checked with modinfo and it does show the gfx card and it has loaded the driver

Code:
SUN-FIRE-880% modinfo -c | grep gfx
 82          1 gfxp                             LOADED/INSTALLED

as well i just tried reinstalling the device drivers but still no luck

Do i need to make sym link to the new card maybe?

What's the output from:
Code:
ls -l /dev/fb
ls -lL /dev/fb

That'll show if you need to make a new symlink.

ok so this is the output i get with the card in the correct spot (i endded up putting it back since i need the screen)

Code:
SUN-FIRE-880% ls -lL /dev/fb
crw-------   1 root     root     116,  0 Mar 23  2014 /dev/fb
SUN-FIRE-880% ls -l /dev/fb
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          38 Apr  7  2014 /dev/fb -> /devices/pci@9,600000/TSI,gfxp@1:gfxp0

so should i move the card to the new slot and then set a new symlink ?

Try
Code:
find /devices | grep gfxp

to see where the card really is in the /device tree.

And
Code:
grep gfx /etc/path_to_inst

to see where the module thinks it is.
