Hi !
I’ve bought a s3 Trio64V2-DX/GX card (PCI). I’ve got another video card
integrated to my mother board. My screen is connected to my s3.
But when I launch QNX, cttrap seems to detected my s3trio, and launch the
video mode. But my screen stay black ! I’ve try to re-install QNX, but it
doesn’t work.
What can I do ?

Well the first thing is to try to disable the
motherboard video in your bios setup.

Hi, Assuming that your motherboard’s graphics chips is not in the S3 family,
you can unambiguously force crrtrap to detect the S3 video card in preference
to all others by running:
crttrap clear (cleans out previous config)
crttrap -F s3 (or alternatively crttrap -F virge)
I’m not an expert (it’s taken me three months to get my home machine safely
out of VGA mode !) but maybe it’ll work.
Good luck,
Andy

Thanks for your answer.
It’s exactly what I want to do : force crttrap to detect the s3 video card
in preference to all others by running. So I’v try your idea but :
What can I do ? And how see help for command crttrap in the shell ?
Thank you very much and sorry for my english.

Before you buy.
Hi,
Sorry I forgot to include the vital command ‘trap’
try
crttrap -F s3 trap
Like I said, I’m not an expert…
All the documentation for crttrap appears in the photon online help.
But if you can’t run photon, you can’t display the help!
Within a shell you can type
use
to discover the command line options of any particular executable.
Hope this helps.

- I use space when QNX is booting and use the option 1 to use safe
mode.- I type : crttrap clear (no problems, QNX confirms)
- I type : crttrap -F s3 (problems !!!)
QNX writes :
crttrap: illegal option --F
s3: command unrecognisedWhat can I do ? And how see help for command crttrap in the shell ?

Apparently the bios just looks for another video card,
it doesn’t physically disable it.
Other idea ?
I would start with setting up the motherboard VGA. After
that you can play with crttrap to find a driver for the
add on card.

Thnks for your answer.

Yes, I totally agree

I can’t set up the motherboard VGA. There is nothing to do that…
What can I do ?
Damien_
crttrap -F s3 trap
Thanks, but with QNXRTP I’ve try : use crttrap, and there is no F option !
I’ve not found equivalent option.
I despair !

You mean that you can’t plug a VGA card into the motherboard
VGA port? When you boot, are you in text mode on your other
card? If so, here is one more shot.
Run: “crttrap trap”. Edit the /etc/config/trap/crt.XXX file.
Look for a driver listed that is not the motherboard VGA.
Move this line to the top of the file. Then try starting
Photon.
Good luck.
What can I do ?
