init 5 doesn't work with Kyro driver

Hello

I have Kyro II graphic card. I've already installed drivers (version 2.00.20-516) and wanted to have a init 5 startup. It worked fine with generic VESA drivers, but performance was not good.
So, after installing drivers for Kyro, XServer doesn't want to start. But when switched to init 3 and booted by startx , works fine. Maybe somebody's met a problem like this and would like to help. I would be appreciated.

I suppose, init 5 startup is with garphical login via kdm, gdm, or xdm ?

If so, this seems to be a bug of the Kyro drivers; I haven't found anybody yet who got this working, and meanwhile I got so used to the startx command that I don't mind anymore.

Sorry.

I thought the Kyro driver should be preloaded with kernel, because Xserwer cannot load it while starting.But it doesn't seem to be right. In logs I get "Caught signal 11, server aborting". It's strange. Maybe I'll write to powervr team and suggest to improve those drivers

. It can't be so hard :> . Maybe somebody managed this problem. Still waitin' for help. Thanks!
