Video display problems using QNX for Compaq Armada 7800

Hi,

I have tried installing QNX on my Compaq Armada 7800 (laptop).

Installation went smooth, though after reboot I was prompted with:

A new video card has been detected. Please verify
these video driver settings before continuing.

Video Driver: s3 (ViRGE MX)
Resolution 1024x768
Color Depth: 16-bit
Refresh Rate: 60

Then, whatever I choose “Test” or “Continue”,
screen becomes scrapped and unreadable.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Glebas

Hi Glebas,

What version of the RTP are you running - September or January?

Joe

Joe,

I don’t know - I have downloaded it few weeks ago.

Thanks,

Hi,

Could you post the output of:

ls -l /lib/dll/devg-s3.so

so we can see the date of the S3 driver.

Also in the meantime - if haven’t already done so,
try the vesabios driver.

Regards,

Joe
