Hey, from the looks of most of these posts, I’m ahead of the crowd by just
managing to get the ISO to a bootable image on a second partitioned
harddrive. Look out!
Unfortuneatly… When I boot from the CD, Photon gives me a GUI looking
thingie that says, “Detected New VideoCard”… Keyboard doesn’t respond,
and occasionally it’ll drop me at shell. Now… what’s up with that?
So, I get to shell… whee… Now I can start Photon, but only in ‘safe’
mode. I can’t see my mouse, but I figured that’s because it’s USB. When I
get around to it, I’ll get a ps/2 adapter. But in the mean time… Using
the “winkey” thingie on my silly keyboard gets me the launch menu, but
Ctrl+Esc does not. Um, that’s very annoying. 
I’m new to having silly
winkey keyboards. 
Anyway, back to the point at hand. So I can get to the launch menu, but I
don’t have a highlight. That is, I can arrow around and randomy hit enter
to start something, but I cannot see what I’m doing. A little guess work
got me into the config, but now I can’t seem to activate anything useful.
If it’s helpful, I have an Nvidia TNT2 card on AGP. If really necessary,
there’s a twin card on PCI in there, so I suppose I could use that if I
needed it for QNX…

So you are saying you don’t have a mouse cursor? Try disabling the hardware
cursor in the Graphics Confg dialog.

I don’t have a mouse cursor, no. It’s a USB mouse, though, so is that
supported?
And I don’t have a keyboard cursor once I activate the launch menu with
the keyboard hotkey cos I don’t have/can’t see my mouse…
And it locks up unless it’s in safe mode…

No, USB mice are not support auto-magically. You can set up the system to
use one though. Can you round up a PS/2 mouse to get things moving?

“rounded” one up… Now I can atleast use photon, but it refuses to work
with my videocard. I see Photon has TNT drivers, but none of them work for
me…
Oh, and another thing. I noticed all the networking wants PPPoE. So
you’re telling me QNX cannot function as a client on a LAN unless it’s
logged in through PPP? I’ve got a cable modem and a router, but nothing
that’ll offer a ppp link.

Hi,
Can you run the /etc/system/support/grafscript.rtp and send us the generated
tar file.
Networking does not require PPPoE, if the NIC is not detected then when you
start voyager the dial-up dialog box will be displayed. What kind of NIC do
you have?
Thanks,
Joe
