[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.
