Hi,
The qnx realtime platform cd arrived yesterday.
I clicked on instal button. installed on d drive
the video card was not detected so its reverted to vga display
the mouse is haywire which makes exploring the docs and files a bit
difficult.
It didn’t detect the ethernet card.
I tried menu with dma disabled
I tried plug and play aware os = “no” in bios
What to do?
Shall I give up on that pc.?
I think its a pentium166 with mmx thingy
award modular bios v4.51pg 04/09/97
cirrus logic 5446 pci
e2000plus ethernet isa card.
there’s a zipdrive on one of the com ports

I don’t know about the video, but you can try something like this for
the ethernet card.
First, see that io-net was run during startup.
Issue the command:
pidin | grep io-net
You should get some output.
Try loading the driver for your card. I’m going to guess that the
e2000plus is an NE2000 compatible. If not, look at /lib/dll/devn-*
for a likely candidate, and substitute it for devn-ne2000.so in the
following:
a) edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
if it does not exist, create it. When you are done editing, you
must change its permissions to executable using
chmod a+rx /etc/rc.d/rc.local
b) add the line:
mount -T io-net devn-ne2000.so
to rc.local
Try running the above mount command at the command line, or reboot
your computer. I suggest fiddling on the command line rather than
rebooting, as it saves a lot of time.
If you need to specify the irq and port for your card, try passing
them as arguments to the mount command:
mount -T io-net -o irq=10,ioport=240 devn-ne2000.so
If you are using something other than devn-ne2000.so, look up the
arguments in the helpviewer by searching for devn-whatever.so. Put
the appropriate options after the -o above, separated by commas.
Just for starters, the Currus Logic chipset currently isn’t supported,
however in Patch A there is a SVGA driver that will provide unaccelerated
support for more resolutions and greater colour depths.
However it sounds like there are other problems as well, could you please
boot QNX in text mode (at startup press the space bar and select not to
boot into Photon, F3 if I remember correctly). Then run the following
command:
pci > /fs/hd0-dos/pci.txt
Then you can reboot into Windows and post the output on here so we can
take a look.

no luck there, ping other computer ip says no route to host
I can figure this out later what I’d really like is some tips to get the

docs at the command prompt?

What happens when you run the command right from the prompt, without

It just seems to be lacking a bunch of stuff. Are all your cards
ISA cards by chance?

At the moment I’ll settle for getting the mouse working. So I can
browse the help thingy.
The mouse is “erratic”.
type
pidin arg | grep devi
to find the arguments used by devi-hirun. This is what your mouse
driver is being given. If you see two devi-hirun lines, then the
driver is being started twice, and your mouse will be erratic. if
you see the wrong protocol being used (msoft instead of logitech
for example), try specifying your own input file. Do this by
creating a file called /etc/config/trap/input.$(hostname), and
putting all of the options to devi-hirun on a single line in that
file. You can start with the options you got from the pidin
command above. You can find the arguments to devi-hirun on the
console with the command “use devi-hirun”. In order for your new
devi-hirun arguments to take effect, you must shut down photon
completely, not just exit back to the graphical login window. Restart
photon from the console with the “ph” command.
Hope this helps at least get your mouse working. If not, try another
mouse, possibly a serial mouse if you have one.

The $(command) shell syntax means to substitute the output of command
into the current line. It is the same as the backquote syntax: command. I really meant something like:
$ vi /etc/config/trap/input.$(hostname)
which, if the hostname command returns the result “localhost”, will
be equivalent to:
$ vi /etc/config/trap/input.localhost
Try typing hostname at the command prompt. Whatever that generates,
that is what you should use.

What type of mouse do you have? Not sure what you mean by erratic,
is it jerky?
the mouse is ok until I open a window and then if I grab the window it gets
sucked down the bottom of the screen and if I try to scroll down with the
window arrows it shifts off to the left or right so I end up clicking
anywhere.
I guess its unsupported hardware. I’ll try it on another machine.
From the ouput of nicinfo it doesn’t look like the driver will work
with the card. Do you use Windows or Linux by chance? and if so what
driver does Linux use? or under Windows, what does the device manager
say the card is? Nicinfo sais it is a NE2000 card, but it just may
be NE2000 compatible, which unfortunatly doesn’t always mean NE2000.

Hi Erick
Windoze says it’s a “E2000plus pnp ethernet adapter”.
Its a Dabs “own brand” ne20000 compatable?
I had it in a slackware 486 a year ago
But I did something silly and slackware stopped working. so I can’t check
what it thought it was.
sorry.
Do you know what the deal is regarding applying patchA to this rtp.
I go the patch but the site mentions license key which I don’t have?
