support for LynxEM lapTop LCD??

Hi…

I just installed QNX4.25 in a 600 MHz Gateway laptop with LynxEM flat
panel. But when I do a crttrap, then the LCD goes black.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?? Is there an appropriate
driver for this particular LCD??

Thank you so much.

Miguel

What type of graphics chip is in the laptop?

Could you post the output of showpci -v?

Thanks for your prompt answer; I appreciate it. However, I do not have
‘showpci’ in my version of QNX4/Photon. I wonder if you could direct me
to a place where I could get this?

On your system, see if you have a /usr/bin/show_pci


In any event, when I go to Win98, the information present says that the
display adapter is

Silicon Motion LynxEM, hw ver 1.63



As soon as I have more information, I’ll post it.

Thanks…

Miguel

Hi again…

I went to the Silicon Motion page
(http://www.siliconmotion.com/lynxem.htm), and they say that the LynxEM
ship is a sight ‘new Multi Chip BGA (MCB) Family’. :frowning:
It further says that this product is:

PC99, ACPI compliant, HW video “Bob” support, DSTN and TFT panel
support…



DO you have any idea on what would make this chip work?

Thanks…

Miguel.

Yes, i have /usr/bin/show_pci.

This is the -long- output of showpci -v

Thanks again.

Hi…

I have not yet have success with this issue. I contacted the SMI people,
and they responded with:

=======================
Dear customer,

We currently do not have any accelerated driver for QNX. The VESA
generic
QNX driver should work fine with LynxEM.

We do not have any plan at this time to support accelerated driver for
QNX.

Best Regards

SMI Support

==============================

but… in QNX4 we have vesabios, and this still freezes the screen, and
sometimes it shuts the laptop down. :astonished:(

Any help? Any pointers that may help me realize what it is that I am
doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Miguel

Could you post the contents of your trapfile:

ie: /etc/config/trap/crt.1 where 1 is your nodenumber

so we can see what is detected.

Also - does your laptop have a function key that allows you to switch
between the flat panel and an external monitor. If so, when the screen
goes black try to use this function to switch the panel on and off. On some
laptops this helps to bring the picture back. If you have access to a
monitor, you could hook it up to the laptop and see if a picture appears on
it.

Could you forward or bounce us the email you received from the support at SMI?
We would like to get in contact with them about possibly supporting their
hardware. Thanks
