Hi,

We have purchased 2 PCI display cards for configuring Photon with 2
monitors. Both cards are PCI, VESA2.0 compliant, with Cirruslogic chipset.
Aftter booting to QNX, in /qnx4/graphics/drivers directory we typed the
following command ==>

#./Hydra.ms -T >/etc/config/trap/crt.5

We could observe that secondary monitor performed a video BIOS warm boot
and a trap file was created. Machine did not hang. On starting Photon,
monitor connected to 1st card showed Photon display but second monitor did
not display Photon graphics.

How to start our Photon application on second monitor?

Thanks,
Krupa
