Graphics cards info

Hi,
we are looking for any PCI graphics card with DVI output, witch works in
multiple monitor configuration in QNX RTP in accelerated mode.
We found a message in this news server, that chipsets bellow support
multiple monitor configuration in accelerated mode.
ATI Rage128
ATI RagePro
ATI Radeon
3df Voodoo3/Banshee
TVIA Cyberpro 5000
TVIA Cyberpro 5300
There is mentioned 3df Voodoo3/Banshee in this list, what, I think, is no
more manufactured. Or am I wrong? We are looking for these cards, we need
them for QNX 4.
Do you have any information about PCI graphics cards with DVI or about
availability of 3df Voodoo3/Banshee on the market?

Thanks

Marek Smrz

Hi Marek,

Not sure which OS you are looking for. You mention both QNX RTP
and QNX4, could you please clarify.

What we support for each is different as far as multimonitor goes.

The Voodoo3/Banshee are no longer avail (you are correct).

As far as PCI cards with DVI output, the only one we’ve had here
is the TVIA Cyberpro5200. There may be others available, but
we haven’t had them here. If you do need a particular card that
isn’t listed as supported, you can download the driver DDK and develop it
yourself, or you could get a custom eng request and have us do it for you.
In that particular case you would have to contact sales @
1-800-363-9001

Best regards,

Erick

Hi Erick,
We develop software for both OS, QNX RTP and QNX4.
QNX4:
I was wander, if the Voodoo3/Banshee is still available for QNX4, because it
is the only card, whose driver supports multimonitor accelerated mode.
QNX RTP:
For QNX RTP we are looking for graphics card with DVI output, whose driver
supports multimonitor accelerated mode.
You write there is the TVIA Cyberpro5200 available with these features. Does
the driver for TVIA Cyberpro5200 work in accelerated multimonitor mode?
There is only TVIA Cyberpro 5000 and 5300 in the list I found at this news
server. Does the driver support resolution 1280 x 1024 and 1600 x 1200?
There is mentioned only 640 x 480 and 1024 x 768 in the driver description
at your web site “QNX RTOS Supported Video Drivers”.

Thank you

Hi Erick,
We develop software for both OS, QNX RTP and QNX4.
QNX4:
I was wander, if the Voodoo3/Banshee is still available for QNX4, because it
is the only card, whose driver supports multimonitor accelerated mode.

The Voodoo3/Banshee is no longer made, if you really need one you might be
able to find one on a news group somewhere for sale.

We have used ATI Rage128 cards in an accelerated multimonitor setup. These
are still available.

QNX RTP:
For QNX RTP we are looking for graphics card with DVI output, whose driver
supports multimonitor accelerated mode.
You write there is the TVIA Cyberpro5200 available with these features. Does
the driver for TVIA Cyberpro5200 work in accelerated multimonitor mode?

There is mentioned only 640 x 480 and 1024 x 768 in the driver description
at your web site “QNX RTOS Supported Video Drivers”.

The TVIA Cyberpro 5200 is a PCI card with DVI output. We have not tried it in
multimonitor setup, as we only have 1 card.

It does not work well above 1024x768 resolution due to hw limitations.

As previously mentioned there may be PCI cards with DVI output that are available,
but we are not aware of any (so you’ll have to check into that yourself).
If you find one, let us know what it is and we can tell you if our driver should
work or not.

Regards,

Erick

OK. The last question.

Does ATI Rage128 work in QNX4 in an accelerated multimonitor setup? If yes,
how to setup the configuration?
There is written in the article QNX.000009490 “Configuring dual display for
Photon” the following:
… Prior to Photon 1.14 or with cards other then the Banshee, you can not
use the accelerated mode. …

The ATI Rage128 does work in QNX4 with accelerated multimontor setup.
You should get the latest Pg.rage128 from May2001 release or I believe
December2000 graphics beta. Best bet is to get the May2001 CD (or if you
already have a CD, then you can download the archives from here and
use your CD to update it):

http://www.qnx.com/developer/download/updates/qnx4/index.html

The setup is similar to the Banshee and flat. You combine two lines from
the trap file as described in the article.
