QNX4.25 Windows on Dell Inspirion 7000

Hi,
I have QNX 4.25 up and running on my Dell Inspirion 7000 and most
things are going just fine. My problems with QNX windows could have several
causes and the number of combinations is daunting. Basically, I can only run
at 640x480 resolution and wterm won’t run?

First, I do not seem to have a driver expcet gr.vga and gr.vga256 that will
run. I suspect that getting the right driver will help a lot. Can anyone
with a Dell I7000 point me to the correct driver.

Also, when I try to run wterm it gives me a message about needing more
devices to run Dev.win. I have tried using Dev.win -n 32 & and I have
also tried some alternative commands suggested in /windows/readme/Dev.win
to no effect.

I suspect that the correct windows driver combined with int10, and the correct
DevXXX commands in the right order would work just fine. Does anyone have
this up and running on a DELL I7000 and would you consider posting your
sysinit or portions thereof relating to QNX windows.

Thanks,

Dell 7000 I beleive come with either ATI Rage Mobilityor GeForce2Go.
There is no QW native driver. QW can use SciTech drivers tough,
that’s probably your best bet

Try Dev -n100.

BEWARE the nospam trick isn’t working anymore… Be creative :wink:

Plus you still have a valid email address in the reply field of your
newsreader.

Have you tried the Scitech drivers? (gr.scitech) or the Qwindows/Photon
drivers? (gr.phi I think)

wterm is a script – it might be illuminating to take a look at what it
does. :slight_smile:

The particular example in the /windows/readme/Dev.win file:

/bin/Dev16 -N /D16 &
/windows/apps/Wterm/Dev.win -N /D16/win -n10 -r &

actually came out of my sysinit file. (And, is still there,
albeit commented out, as I haven’t actually run QNX Windows in
quite a while.)

After running them both, I see:

ls /D16
null win10 win3 win5 win7 win9

win1 win2 win4 win6 win8

Do you get to that point?
