I have installed QNX 6.2.1 on my laptop using the vmware sofware. I could
successfuly install both vmware and QNX but the problem is that the graphic
card doesn’t seem to work that well. The cursor moves too slow and screen
updates too slow. Plus, I can’t get the resoultion above 640*480. I tried to
solve this by two given suggestions as below, but they didn’t work out for
me. On the first try, based on this ( http://www.openqnx.com/Article182.html) I changed the “devg-vesabios.so”
library to “devg-vesabios.so.bak” ( having no idea why!!) and reboot but
same thing.
I also tried to insatal this driver at http://www.openqnx.com/Article218.html but that’t didn’t help either. Does
anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?

The standard VGA driver provides some acceptable performance. What is your
machine specs, maybe you are expecting too much?
It is strange that you couldn’t go above 640x480, first time I hear about
that problem. Are you using the latest version of VMware?
My problem is a little different. I have installed devg-vmware.so
from http://www.openqnx.com/downloads/vmware_qnx6.tgz
in QNX 6.2.1 and when I try to switch my graphics to the vmware driver
I just get a black screen, no matter the resolution or color depth.
Any ideas?
Ok. It works now. I installed the professional edition tools for
x86, and that caused whatever magic was required to make the
seemingly independent graphics subsystem work with devg-vmware. I
guess that’s what one of the other posters meant by “you have to
install the full system”. Who would have guessed?
