New Pg.rage128 driver available

A new Pg.rage128 driver is now available at
http://developers.qnx.com/Fixes/Software/

This experimental Pg.rage128 driver is to be used with QNX4, Photon
1.14. It requires the May 2001 release or all latest graphics BETA
patches installed.(December 2000)

This experimental Pg.rage128 driver has fixes/support added for:

  • Rage Mobility M4
  • multi-monitor support

Not all laptops with the Rage Mobiltiy M4 may function correctly as we have
not had access to all type of laptops. Some laptops may not exit from back
to text mode correctly.

For multi-monitor support the trap file will need to be edited manually.
For information on how to do this see:

Kevin:

Glad to hear about the Rage128 driver. I have a laptop that uses the Rage
driver and doesn’t exit to text correctly.
Is there an experimental copy of Pg.rage ? If so could it also be put on
“developers” ?

TIA
Andy

Hi Andy,

Could you run and send us the output of the following script?

Thanks

Erick.




#! /bin/sh

set -x

General os and video information script

mkdir tmp
tempfile=“tmp/video_info.txt”

\

function declaration - syschk()

used to gather info via standard os utilities

and write the output to video_info file.

syschk () {
echo Output of: $1 >> $2
$1 >> $2
echo >> $2
}

echo "Starting script… "
echo "Please don’t touch the keyboard until the script is finished… "
echo “”

get time and date information

timestamp=$(date +%H+%M+%S)
datestamp=$(date +%y+m%d)

get the output from the various utilities

echo “Running the various ‘sin’ commands…\n”

syschk “sin” $tempfile
syschk “sin ver” $tempfile
syschk “sin in” $tempfile
syschk “sin ar” $tempfile

get the output from some video related commands

echo “Running some video utilities…\n”

syschk “show_pci -vvvvvv” $tempfile
syschk “/qnx4/graphics/bin/show_vesa” $tempfile
syschk “ls -l /qnx4/graphics/drivers/” $tempfile
syschk “ls -l /qnx4/graphics/trappers/” $tempfile
syschk “cat /etc/config/trap/crt.$NODE” $tempfile


echo "Script finished… "
echo “Please include the file ‘tmp/video_info.txt’ with your email to support.”
