Basically I want to access the QNX photon in a laptop via VNC in my XP. I have read most of the posts related to this topic and finally got it right. But I still cannot see the photon session in the VNC viewer as most of you had experienced - I can only see an X term. So I downloaded phinx.630.gz, and gunzip it. I then “chmod +x phinx.630”. But when I run it, it will display “cannot connect to 127.1”. Are there anything I missed or I did wrong?
Thanks a lot for your inputs and good weekend,
J.C.
Thanks for the information. They are very helpful to me so far. I followed the suggestions, but in my XP’s VNC viewer, when I typed in the command of “phx”, it will display the following:
$phx
Starting Remote Photon Session
Starting Photon In X…
$ unknown symbol: PhLock
unknown symbol: ps_obj_open
…
Could not resolve all symbols
If I used command phinx in VNC viewer, the same “Could not connect to 127.1” error occured just as before I installed XFree86.
By the way, when I installed the XFree86 in the QNX laptop inside Photon using "tar zxf /home/user/xf86-4301-qnx6-bin.tar.gz, there are the following error messages:
tar: usr/X11R6/bin/XPhoton, could not create File: Resource busy
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors.
Regarding your “unknonw symbol” error. It looks like you have multiple versions of “phinx” installed on your system. Do a “which -a phinx” and see. Also check to see if there is a copy in /usr/photon/bin directory.
You need to clean it up and make sure you only have one copy: the one from phinx.630.
Regarding your “Could not connect” error. Did you follow my suggestions above?
I am facing similar somewhat issue with Phinx, I am running Xming/PuTTY-SSH session from Windows, trying to run Phinx remotely. I see the login screen, however I am unable to type anything. Mouse seems to work fine. I have QNX632, and got Phinx from XF86 (4.3.2) port.
Any help solve this problem would be great help.
Thx

I believe phinx from XF86 (4.3.2) port is an old one that only works for QNX 6.2.X.
Attached is a phinx for 6.3.x that I found on the Net. Hopefully it will work for you. Just gunzip it and make it executable.
