CT65550 QNX6.1.0 and extensa900 inst. problem

I am trying to install QNX 6.1.0 on a notebook extensa
900CD (Graphic adapter: CT 65550); I have downloaded the ISO image;
the installation process gives no problems until I reboot.
At the first boot of the notebook, it freeze on crttrap with
this message on the screen:
Running crttrap, please wait…
/usr/photon/bin/devgt-iographics -dldevg-chips_hiqv.so -I0 -d0x102c,0x00e0
mode switcher init: Bad address
/usr/photon/bin/devgt-iographics -dldevg-vesabios.so -I0 -d0x102c,0x00e0

at this point if I poweroff the notebook and restart QNX, it starts in VGA mode
without touchpad, but serial mouse is ok.

Now I have discovered that if I start QNX pressing space when it boots, then F11
(enumerator disables), then F2 (Disable the plug and play ISA enumerator
QNX starts in SVGA mode, the “new video card has been detected” dialog appear
on the screen and I can select either svga or vesa mode, and even the touchpad is
ok; but when i restart QNX it freeze again as before.

If I modify /etc/system/enum/devices/graphics and put at the end of the file, after:
all # No PCI display device found

this line:

echo(devgt-iographics -dldevg-chips_hiqv.so, $fname))

If I restart QNX, pressing space + F11 +F2
It starts correctly with the acellerated CT65550 video driver but as before
it freeze the machine if I do not press F11 and F2

I have also tryed to modify the section about Chips and Technologies
in /etc/system/enum/devices/graphics replacing
echo(devgt-iographics -dldevg-chips_hiqv.so -I$(index) “-d0x$(ven),0x$(dev)”, $(fname))
with:
echoi(devgt-iographics -dldevg-chips_hiqv.so, $(fname))

but as before it starts only if I press the F11+F2 on boot process

I have also tryed modifying the Unaccelerated VESA 2.00 section with no results.

I have also downloaded a fixed Chips and Technologies video driver from
QNX site; but it freezes exactly as before.

It look like the only way to start the chips_hiqv video driver is to disable the
ISA PNP enumerator when QNX boots.

pci -v command gives this information about display:

Class = Dispaly (VGA)
Vendor ID = 102ch, Chips And Technologies
Device ID = e0h, 65550 LCD/CRT controller
PCI index = 0h
Class Codes = 030000h
Revision ID = c6h
Bus number = 0
Device number = 6
Function num = 0
Status Reg = 280h
Command Reg = 83h
Header Type = 0h Single-function
BIST = 0h Build-in-self-test not supported
Latency Timer = 0h
Cache Line Size = 0h
PCI MEM Address = fd000000h 32bit length 16777216 enabled
Max Lat = 0ns
Min Gnt = 0ns
PCI Int Pin = NC
Interrupt Line = 0

someone can help me solving this problem ?
thanks, bye

P.s. This notebook has also an ESS1878 audio device
(it looks like an ISA pnp device detected on address 0200,0388,0300 irq5 dma=0,3)
QNX 6.1.0 support this audio card ?

Hi,

Can you run the grafxscript from http://www.geocities.com/erickmuis/file/hardware_scripts/nto/
on your system and send us the generated tar file. This script will probe your
system for graphics information which will help us to diagnose the problem.

Regards,

Joe
