[openbeos] accelerant difficulties

Lately, I have been working on getting the display driver working for the 
actual app_server (no more protos).  I seem to be having some difficulties 
with working with the graphics device and the accelerant.  I am using the 
BeOS example harness.c as a reference for getting things working.  The main 
card in my machine is a geforce 2 MX400, but I also have a pci ati rage 2.  
BeOS uses the geforce, and I wish to use the ati for app_server  development.  
If I look in /dev/graphics, I see 3 entries (one beginning with nv, one named 
stub, and a numeric name).  If I try to open the numeric one (which I presume 
is my ati card), it fails to open (i.e. invalid descriptor).  If I try to 
open my geforce or stub, I can open the device and I can load the accelerant, 
but it fails to find the entry point for the accelerant.  Anybody have any 
ideas on what the problem is?   It's kind of frustrating debugging since I 
tend to end up in KDL rather frequently (usually while running my driver, but 
once it happened while rebuilding).  I am running with Max Edition if that is 
of any use.
