I remember having problems with the Raptor myself. At some point (I
think it was at Aurora 1.0), I even made a new XFree 3.3.6 compatibility
RPM just to get *that* driver, as it supported the Raptor much better. I
still have that RPM, but I have no idea whether it can be used in any
way with Aurora 2.0 these days, as all my Raptors have been replaced by
Creator3Ds in my U60 and AXi. Of course that only works in machines with
UPA slot. :-/

Cheerio,
