This limitation is due to the fact that the XF86 i128 driver will claim all i128 based cards. Since the i128 driver will not initialize the Raptor card correctly, the Tech Source driver must be used. 3-8 Chapter 4 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION FOR T-CLASS CARDS 4. 1 Overview This installation chapter describes how to install and configure the drivers for T-Class Raptor cards. This class of cards includes the following: · · · · Raptor 2100T Raptor 2500T Raptor 1100T Raptor 3840T The installation of I-Class Raptor cards is covered in Chapter 3. 4. 2 Requirements The following are prerequisites for installing the Raptor Drivers for Linux Software: · · · · · At least 2MB of disk space available in "/" and "/usr" for drivers.
