Any Hope for Trident Support?

The subject says it all. I just istalled QNX from my free CDROM on my
laptop which uses a Trident Cyber 9385 video chip. The GUI runs only in 600
x 480 x 4 mode which really sucks.

Trident is not mentioned in the supported hardware list. Anyone know if
they plan to add support for the 9385?

Thanks.

We have plans to give Trident our Graphics Driver DDK so they can
write drivers for their chips if they are so inclined.

It will only be about another week before the final docs for the
DDK are ready, so they should have it by next week sometime.

Assuming the card has a working BIOS, there should be an SVGA driver
in the next patch that will work with your card. You won’t get multimedia,
but you should get better resolutions.
