I suppose you mean “pci -v” rather than “pci -V”? At least it seems so,
trying the command “use pci”. Since “pci” wasn’t in my path (not logging
in as root), I tried this command on the two copies of pci (they are
probably identical) I found on my harddrive, as follows:
$cd /usr/sbin
$./pci -v
Can’t locate PCI server
$
$cd /x86/usr/sbin
$./pci -v
Can’t locate PCI server
$
This is the same whether the graphics looks alright or not.
I tried to reproduce which actions made the graphics look weird (it
always starts to do so after reboot). At first everything looked
alright. Then I started lots of programs: most of the ones in the
right-most “shelf”, and realplayer and mozilla. This time the OS
suddenly “crashed” (seemed to jump out to “DOS”-mode, displaying the
whole screen full of blinking different-colored rectangles (like those
in the DOS-version of Scandisk - Surface scan), and “chewing” on the
harddrive), and CTRL-ALT-DELETE made no effect.
After rebooting, the graphics was weird. The same thing has happened
before, without the OS crashing the previous session.
My best guess is that it’s Mozilla that somehow causes the graphics
problems, since this is still alpha/beta software.
Next time the graphics is fine, I’ll try running only Mozilla and then
rebooting, to see if this is it. I can’t spend more time trying this
now, got to go studying 
.

PS pci -V gives this result:
$ ./pci -V
pci: option requires an argument – V
Can’t locate PCI server

I downloaded the QNX RTP, installed it and it worked fine. After
starting it up a few times (including starting win95 in between), the
graphics in the QNX system looked really weird.
I was able to use the window system (what I understand is called
“Photon” please correct me if I’m wrong), though many things seemed to
have become “invisible”. That is, when clicking the “start-menu” (bottom
left corner), all the options are available, but the fonts are written
directly onto the desktop, without the “grey box” underneath it.
The same thing when starting, say, Voyager. The window appears, but you
can see the desktop straight “through” it, and you can’t see all the
buttons (back, forward, stop, etc) nor any web page.
I tried to re-install the QNX RTP, and the same thing happened. First:
works okay, then after a while: looks weird and is pretty unusable.
I’m thankful for any help. This OS is better than others I’ve tried (Be,
Linux), seems quite speedy, and has also the best looks of all systems
I’ve tried (I mean Photon).
My system is a P166 w/ 80MB ram, graphics card: S3 Trio64V+, now
dual-booting QNX RTP and Windows 95B (FAT32)

ps If I knew how to make a “print screen”, I would have attached it to
this post.
