I recently got my card the otherday. I’ve been able to use the sample ini file to test it. I’m trying to get GQRX setup on a bare Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
I’ve installed everything several ways, but now I have t installed as narrated by this thread (link).
As you’ll see below when I run SoapySDRUtil --make it shows that the driver is PCIEXillybus but every thread I find on the internet shows to use “lime” in GQRX.
I’ve used both, but no matter what I use get this call-back response.

I’ll include a bunch of command outputs.
