X11 with Scitech and Compaq Evo

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) qdn.public.ddk.graphics
1

got new PCs (Compaq Evo310 Microtower) for our application, running X11 with
Scitechdriver on QNX 4.25…
TNT2 graphiccard (the only one I could find that still runs!!!)… onboard
VGA deactivated!
Photon start as quick as usual - X11 or better Scitechdriver (gatest and
startx) take up to 1 min to give an image !!!
Shutting down X11 is a little quicker (but still 15 seconds) :frowning:!
does anybody have answers to such things???
thanks for any hints!!!

attached the graphics.log:

Try setting VBIOS_METHOD environment variable to 2, e.g.

export VBIOS_METHOD=2

thanks - nice idea… did not change anything though.
it looks as if scitech (???) searches hardwaresettings or “snoops” around…
similar effects were when “allow tcp” is activated in Xconfig.$Node file
(/etc/config/X11)
my “set” gives the following output, maybe that gives you any further hints:
