Dual monitor hanging on boot

I have 2 RivaTNT standard vidoe adapters, and QnX is hanging when it
tries to initilize Photon, I can live with 1 monitor , but also run
Win2000 on this machine, so I can’t simply pull out one video card. Any
ideas on how to disable the second video adapter before Photon boots?

Thanks in advance…

Hi… perhaps you could do something like this.
It’s a dirty hack but for now I can at least use Photon.

  • Booted to text mode (F1)
  • Noted the device numbers of my video cards (pci -v)
  • removed my other video cards and VESA modes from
    /etc/system/config/graphics-traplist
    (identified them using the device numbers)
  • run photon with “ph” → no lock up
  • setup graphics mode using the Photon setup
  • exited to text mode
  • commented out the entire crttrap section from /usr/bin/ph, so the
    traplist and the newly created /etc/system/config/graphics-modes are not
    deleted at
    boottime
  • “reboot”

Note: The system locked when trying to install VESA for my second video
card S3 Virge. My first video card was an Elsa Victory Erazor (Riva 128)
and there is
an onboard video controller as well (did not crash). All cards but the
Elsa were disabled
in Bios.
