FXE install on RP2470

I'm installing a 2D graphics card (A6150B) into an RP2470 running 11.0. I've installed them into the same systems running 11i without a problem, but I can't seem to get the card recognized on 11.0 even after reloading the OS over the top of an existing load.
*ioscan -funC graphics comes back empty.
In Sam...........
* Display --> Xserver config
Again, ioscan -funC graphics reports none
Under peripheral devices.......
* I/O Cards does not show anything at 0/4/0/0
* device list sees:
Hardware path = /0/4/0/0
Driver = ?
Description = PCI Display (103c108b)
Status = SCAN

The 11i systems show that the graph3 driver is used on similar cards, and the graph3 driver is loaded into the kernel. In fact, the kernel reportedly has all modules (now) loaded per SAM.

RP2470's and gfx cards bought at the same time, just different OS's. It has a recent core enhancement (6/2002).

Is the A6150B card supported on 11.0 for the RP2470? Other thoughts?

Thanks,
Steven

Have you tried running

insf -e

and what does this return?

lsdev | grep -i graph

Re: FXE install on RP2470

Yes the cards supported ( 1 per server)

FXE - A6150B & one 2 port USB card


NB the Graphics card is restricted to slot 1
only.

the USB card can use any slot. Requires graphics monitor D8912W or similar mouse & keyboard.

If ioscan fails to see the card try switching cards if you have a spare, as this might be h/w.

Re: FXE install on RP2470

insf -e returns:
insf: Installing special files.......
(47 lines/files including framebuf)

lsdev|grep -i gra returns:
168 -1 beep graf_pseudo
174 -1 framebuf graf_pseudo
229 -1 ite graf_pseudo

it has been rebooted after the special files were installed, no difference (same output again from insf -e)

Thanks
