I have installed QRTP on a Pentium 266-based board with an on-board
CT69000 video controller. Running it at 800x600x16 turns it into a
486-class machine, and running it with 1024x768x16 renders the machine
more or less unusable. 800x600x24/32 fares better than 800x600x16. Even
in text mode, the lines scroll up nice and slow. Has anyone else
encountered this behavior ? Any suggestions ? Thanks.

Can you tell us if it’s using VESA mode or if it’s actually using the
chips driver? Post the output of `pidin ar’

Now when you say even in text mode, do you mean real text mode (no Photon
at all), or do you mean using a pterm inside Photon?

The video BIOS can do both LCD and CRT. We dont have an LCD connected,
however, the BIOS was set to both. Setting it to AUTO seems to do the
trick, although it still wont do 1024x768 properly. Anyway, for the time
being, this will do the job.
We have been LynxOS users for a long time, primarily due to the POSIX
real-time support. Now that QNX provides this support, we are evaluating
QRTP for our use. LynxOS provides their version of X and that worked
well and didnt seem to be affected by this BIOS setting. We will
probably check out Xphoton as well…
