Ah, I see in news:8qvsop$c3p$1@nntp.qnx.com
that you don’t use any DOS drivers?
because you can dynamically change VESA resolutions?
(BeOS only picks and changes to one, on real mode pre-boot ?? )
are there any plans for either:
Trident 96X0 (Aptiva motherboard)
or
Voodoo2 (Quantum X-24 daughterboard SLI w/ S-video out
- plus the V2 has some 2D capabilities
http://linux.3dfx.com/open_source/register_specs.htm )
I also tried searching around on the QNX site for “video driver source”
does any one have a recipe for porting X windows drivers to QNX?

Would it be possible to provide a regular DOS App (.COM or .EXE) to load
the
QNXrtp?
So that I can load a VESA driver (that is an App, not .SYS)
(INSTALL= in CONFIG.SYS does not run until the end)
-or Is there a LOADSYS type util for outside of CONFIG.SYS?

There will be a graphics driver DDK available shortly. As far as porting
X drivers go, there is no resemblance between them and Photon drivers.

What other graphic subsystems could be closer?
X is user space but with permissions ?
GGI is even more kernel bound ?
Mach/Hurd ?

I realize it is user space moduler (QNX) from monolithic kernel (X)
I supposed the DDK will have a skeleton / samples
never call these functs:
all interrupts will be handle in int()
rename xyzzy() to bfg9000() and calulate this extra parameter
break foobar() into foo() and bar()

The Photon 1.1x graphics drivers, but you really can’t get a DDK
for those

Yes. You really should wait a wee bit for the GDDK, and then
ask specific questions.
Photon is not really based on anything, and the drivers are generally
written from the chipset documentation. We don’t take drivers from
elsewhere and port them, so we can’t really give you any guidelines
on porting.

- Hello All,
- Anybody have an idea where I would find documentation on the macros in

- I’m doing some development on RTP and also Neutrino at work. I need to

Will Photon GUI work in 800x600x16b(S3T64V2/DX) on 16 megs RAM? Some pplz
reported “out-of-memory or screen frezee” errors. About Genius Netmouse

Hi Martin,
Is the drive a CDR or just a CDROM? At this time QNX RTP doesn’t
have software to communicate with CDRs.

It´s a CD-R drive.
At this time I want only use it as an “normal” CDROM drive.
Hi Martin,
I wish it was that simple 
CDR’s require an APSI interface for even just reading from them, so
at this moment support for this isn’t available as of yet.

Ouch, bitten by the Jargon bug again. Is there a difference
between a CDROM and a CDR? I’m not talking about a CDRW.
Mitchell Schoenbrun --------- maschoen@pobox.com
CDR = CD wRitable (once).
CDRW = CD ReWritable
CDROM = CD Read Only
Similar story with DVD, but there are more kinds:
DVD-ROM, DVD-R(A), DVD-R(G), DVD/RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW

Remember:
It is a Plextor PX-R412Ci internal SCSI CD-R drive which I can´t mount
under QNX.
I think QNX developer should check their SCSI-Driver.
I use an ADAPTEC AHA 2940 SCSI card.
Martin,
What is the exact chipset on the card? Is it just a simple 2940?
The QNX RTP supports at this time:
2940
2940 AU
2940 W
If it is a supported chipset, what is your command line to the aha8 driver?
Could you please post the output from pidin arg.
Thanks

Two mistakes in one, the first a typo, the second I corrected myself
shortly after (lowers head).

O.K. I checked it exactly and I found out that it is an AIC-7880 SCSI
chipset, BIOS Version 1.32.
In the group “qdn.public.qnxrtp.installation” there is a thread about
the AIC-789x chipset wich make also problems.
Information:
In my system the harddisk from where I run QNX is on the same SCSI
adaptor than the CD-R.
Hi Martin,
Your chipset is definitly supported (the thread about the 789X, should
check out the supported hardware section, as that adapter isn’t supported
as of yet).
Regarding the mounting, I am confused as to why this doesn’t work.
Try passing -vvvv to the mount command and please post the output.
Also pass -r for read only.
Thanks

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?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.
Speaking of witch, are there any video cards one can buy that will open up
the window of “excellerated” opertunity?
