I have installed the latest version of RTP, and have 4 ati Xpert video
cards installed. I can start 2 rage128 drivers no problem, and 2 screens
are active. When I start the 3rd, everything freezes. Any ideas? Anybody
out there use more than 2 rage drivers at once?
When will RTP have official multi-monitor support (in particular, for
rage128)?

Do you extend the display or do you run 2 photon sessions?
Try running two Photon session instead, if that doesn’t work
may be it’s a hardware limitation.

I beleive a generic solution for multi-monitor is a difficult task.
For now QNX has never supported it official, although they
are able to do it via custom reques (thus $$$).
I have no idea what are their plan for the futur.

I extend the display (although I did try 2 photon sessions, and see the same
behaviour).
I currently use 4 ati cards and rage128 under QNX4, with an extended
display, and it works quite well. I have
had success with 3 monitor setups in the past (under QNX4) using VooDoo 3
(Banshee driver) and
Diamond Stealth cards (forget which driver it was).

I’d like to test it, could you give me some infos please, AFAIR we have start
the second driver with an x or Y offset, no?
Thanks,
Alain.
I use the -o and -I options, like this:
io-graphics -g1024x768x16 -dldevg-ati_rage128.so -I0 -d0x1002,0x5050;
io-graphics -g1024x768x16 -dldevg-ati_rage128.so -I1 -o1024 -d0x1002,0x5050;
io-graphics -g1024x768x16 -dldevg-ati_rage128.so -I2 -o2048 -d0x1002,0x5050;
io-graphics -g1024x768x16 -dldevg-ati_rage128.so -I3 -o3072 -d0x1002,0x5050;
