After receiving my free QNX CD, I have attempted to install QNX, only
with moderate success.
I can get Photon up and running, but mouse pointer behavior is rather
erratical. It allows for horizontal pointer movement, but not
vertical.
My config
Mouse: A4Tech 4DMouse (WWW-11) with DB9/PS2 adapter on serial port 1
(addr. 3F8/IRQ4)
Graphics board:
3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 PCI
Processor: Pentium 200 MMX.
I also tried with a Microsoft PS/2 mouse through an DB9-PS2-adapter,
but with even less success (QNX did not seem to even find a mouse
with this one plugged in)
Is there any solution to this (I have tried searching the knowledge
base, without finding anything relevant)
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
I had the same problem, but eventually fixed it.
The problem was that QNX was improperly detecting my wheel mouse.
You need to tell QNX RTP what kind of mouse you really have.
In my case, QNX was booting my wheel mouse as a standard
Microsoft mouse using the following command (drivers for both keyboard
and mouse): devi-hirun kbd fd -d /dev/kbd msoft -R fd -d /dev/ser1
This command should have been:
devi-hirun kbd fd -d /dev/kbd msoft -i fd -d /dev/ser1
To fix this: Get your machine node name using “uname -n”
Create the file /etc/config/trap/input.
(In my case the file was named input.Beauty)
The contents of this file is a single line containing the correct
arguments for devi-hirun. For me the file contained:
“kbd fd -d /dev/kbd msoft -i fd -d /dev/ser1”

It was the video driver,
if RtP doesn’t like your video card, you will get
an unaccelerated driver, which is hell slow,
and phreak out mouse display…
Something like 4 second to move or following the edges of the screen.
