The Raptor 4000 Series drivers for Linux are provided on a CD-
ROM which consists of:
•Tech Source Raptor device drivers for Linux
•Loadable DDX modules for Tech Source Raptor cards.
•MOX extension files
•TSIMISC extension files
All systems vary somewhat, therefore some knowledge of the
features of your system and a basic understanding of UNIX shell
commands are helpful during the software installation process.
A hardware specification for each of these cards is listed in
Appendix A. From this point forward, Tech Source, Inc. will be
referred to as Tech Source or TSI.
This manual will follow certain conventions throughout.
Whenever a variable name, command name, directory, or
filename is used in a paragraph, it will appear in a mono-
spaced font.
At times the reader will be instructed to enter commands at a
prompt. In this case a transcript of a sample session will be
provided where a prompt will be followed by the commands the
reader is to enter. The entire transcript will be in a mono-
spaced font with the prompt in a normal weight and the user's
entries in bold.
The prompt used in a transcript varies depending on the
circumstances. The following are some common prompts and
when they are used:
prompt# used when the user is required to have root
privileges
prompt% used when the user is not required to have root
privileges
NOTE: In order to use the Tech Source Raptor DDX module,
you must have XFree86 (v4.0 or later) previously installed.

2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Hardware Configurations Supported
The Raptor card and software accompanying this manual have
been tested on Intel and AMD x86 based computer systems
running Linux. By default, video will display on the head nearest
to the PCI bus. This is the high resolution head which also
supports the MOX feature. The low resolution head is the one
furthest from the PCI bus.
In addition to supporting a single screen environment, each
Raptor 4000 Series card has dual head capability to support
multi-screen configurations. Each head on the card can co-exist
with the other and display distinct screens.
Raptor cards use loadable drivers and can co-exist in multi-
screen configurations with other VGA/SVGA graphics cards,
provided drivers are available for those cards under XFree86.
NOTE: Raptor 4000 Series cards currently cannot be used to
display console video in a PC. You must install a VGA/SVGA
PC video card from another manufacturer for this purpose.
2.2 Installation Instructions
The Raptor graphics card installation is simple and consists of a
few easy steps. Prior to installation, be sure to terminate the X
Server.
Step 1: Shut down the system and turn the power OFF.
Remove the system's cover, then find an

available PCI slot, and remove the bracket and
screw. Ground yourself by touching the metal
part on an unpainted section of the metal case.
Step 2: Install the Raptor graphics card firmly into the
PCI slot. Take care to press it evenly and
snugly into the slot. Once you are certain the
card is installed properly in the slot, secure it
with the bracket screw.
Step 3: Secure the system cover, attach any previously
removed cables, and connect the video cable
card to your monitor.
The Raptor graphics card is now installed and the system is
ready for software installation. Please refer to Chapter 3 for
installing and configuring the software.
