gr.scitech

Hi,

I am using an ATI RAGE 128 Pro video card under QNX 4.25E and
Qnx Windows 4.24 using the gr.scitech driver.

I start the driver using ‘gr.scitech -g 1024x768’ and it starts with no
problems.

I start Windows and it displays correctly.

Problem arises when I try to go back to text mode by exiting Windows,
the monitor complains about Frequency Over Range and goes black.

The monitor is a ViewSonic G810 20"

Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Regards,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

With this card there is no reason to use scitech driver.

Lanuch:

/usr/bin/int10 -bVESA

Use the following gr.auto file:

#!/bin/sh
if ( sin in | fgrep -q VGA ); then
/windows/bin/refreshRage -r85,85,85,75
exec /usr/lib/windows/bin/gr.vesa2 -gXxY
fi
return 1
#ifdef __USAGE
#%C
#This is a shell script that will start the VGA driver
#if you have a VGA card installed.
#endif

Andy,

Thank you for your answer, I can’t seem to find the refreshRage utility, can
you point
me to some URL or ftp address?

Thanks!

OK, got the refreshRage utility but the gr.vesa2 complains
about: Unable to load FD structure: not enough memory.

I have 256MB on this machine so it must be something
else.

Any ideas?

Found a gr.vesa2 in the Alpha portion of the updates, tried it and it does
works now. However the problem is not solved, when I go out of windows
the monitor still complains with “Frequency Over Range” and sthuts itself
off.

If I use 640x480 this doesn’t happen, only at 1024x768.

I am just kidding now:
Try various values of frequency for your resolution in refreshRage
statement. Maybe, with 75Hz it will behave correctly…
