crttrap "Video hardware already in use"

Bill_Caroselli1 · February 12, 2002, 4:25pm

I’m installing RTP/PHoton onto an embedded system. When I try to run the ph
script or try to manually run crttrap I get the following message:

Video hardware already in use

I’ve never seen this one before. What is wrong?

Also, if I run crttrap two or thre times in a row it seems to delete
/etc/system/config/graphic_modes* file. WHy is that?

The crttrap utility does a check before executing
certain commands to ensure that there is not already
a graphics region exisiting. Running “crttrap trap”
while Photon & io-graphics were up and running,
corrupted the exisiting graphics.

What other files are running on the system when you
run crttrap?

Could you post the output of pidin and also
phin -TG ?

Regards,
Dave B.

From the pidin output there doesn’t appear to be
any conflicts. To confirm after the initial pidin,
running “crttrap trap” manually causes the error
as well?

What is the output of ‘phin -TG’ before you run
your ph script? Also is this the standard ph script or
a modified one? If modified could you post or send it in?

Thanks

Erick.

I think that this hard drive was not setup right.
We are trying to do a minimum PH just to run one application. I do not think
we have all the files in the right place, because when I ran the PHIN it was
missing libph.so.2. I moved that over and now I get could not access Photon
server.

Is there a document or list of what is needed for a min PH and a PH that can
run Builder?

We are using the standard script.

Hi John,

In the Embedding SDK docs (on our website) there is a section for Embedding Photon.
Take a read through this doc and it will tell you what you need to know for a min
photon setup.

http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/photon/prog_guide/embed.html

Regards,

Joe
