ATI Radeon Mobility M9

Hi all,

I need some help to set up a Radeon Mobiltiy M9 graphics with my new
notebook:
I use the latest Photon Version 4.25 Patch D.

I run crttrap, which found different radeon modes, but did not detect the
SXGA-display resolution 1400x1050.
So I modified the crt.X file and a line for this mode.

But all Radeon modes, even the ones below 1400x1050 (i.e. 1024x768), show a
garbeled output, that means 2/3rd of the screen is ok, but on the middle
everything is washy and flickering.

Is there a new driver, do i miss something ?

Now I switch to the flat driver, and 1400x1050 works, but it is to slow,
while editing a file using vedit in fullscreen mode (in Photon)

Hi Michael,

Currently the QNX4 radeon driver does not support the M9 adapter. This might
be in the next release (I have no idea when that will be).

Best regards,

Erick
