[expert] Problems with framebuffer and Number Nine video card

[Manuel Antonio Fernández Fernández]

Hi,
I have recently updated my linux-box to Mandrake 7.2.
Last mandrake distribution installed perfectly but 
the X configuration, it was no big surprise, many other
different distributions failed. I finally managed to install the rpm's 
from Corel dist., that worked fine, I still don's know what's the difference.
I know Number Nine cards are not supported, but I hoped they would work
with a SVGA Server. As I said before Corel rpms hit the jackpot.

With Mandrake 7.2 I tried the new Vesa Frame Buffer with XFree 4.0. First
I tried lilo related-stuff with framebuffers, the logo was perfect on start-up.
But with XFree86 4.0, although it appears to work fine, when the
display is supposed to show up, the screen remains black, and all
the information available in the output is a problem with some
invalid argument in ioctl, the type of ioctl is FBIOPAN_DISPLAY.
Although this information is pretty precise, I cannot do anything with it.

More additional data:
Video Card: Number Nine Revolution 3D Ticket 2 Ride (T2R) with 8MB.
XFree release: the one that comes with Mandrake 7.2 (that is 4.0.1, I think).

Does anybody know anything about it?

Thanks in advance,
Manuel A. Fernandez
