Here's the whole story so far...

I've recently acquired a Diamond FireGL 1000 PRO graphics card. It's
based on the Permedia 2 chipset, and due to some sort of legal issue
there's no freely available XFree86 server for the card yet. However
SuSE has made available XFree86 accelerated servers for the card, a
Linux version and a FreeBSD version. 

I decided to download the Linux version since I've already got a ton
of linux shared libraries installed and I didn't really feel like
downloading an entire FreeBSD distribution over my 28.8 modem just to
extract the libraries (are they available in a package or tarball
anywhere?). 

I used the modified xf86config that I downloaded along with xglint.tgz
(the linux driver for the card), and set everything up.

I had to 'ln -s /tmp /emul/linux/tmp' to get past an error involving
.X0-lock

I then had to link each /dev/ttyv? to /emul/linux/dev/tty?  (i.e. 'ln
-s /dev/ttyv0 /emul/linux/dev/tty0') to get it past a few more errors.

But now I think I may have hit an error that isn't possible to get
past with NetBSD 1.3.2's linux emulation. 

Take a look at the ioctl error up ahead. Is this a known trouble spot?
Is there a way to get around it?

-Thanks for any help. I'd really like to be able to use this card.
