Forum Topic - Framebuffer concept in QNX4.25: (2 Items)
   
Framebuffer concept in QNX4.25  
Dear all,
Is there any framebuffer concept in QNX4.25?
We need to check if any graphics applications can be run in QNX4.25 without using Photon GUI toolkit support
and by accessing framebuffer directly.
We understood that QNX6.4.x supports SDL (libSDL) and using this we can get a framebuffer interface.
But is SDL supported in QNX4.25?

Thanking you,

Re: Framebuffer concept in QNX4.25  
Hello,

You can create at least two configurations with Photon components to achieve your target. You can disable (just do not 
launch) all unneeded Photon components like pdm, pwm, etc and create PtRaw-based application maximized to whole screen. 
Also you can try to launch Hydra.ms to switch to graphics mode and access framebuffer directly using framebuffer pointer
. To get framebuffer pointer you can use show_pci or show_vesa utils.

What is a reason to do not use Photon? If you describe your question more details then I'll try to suggest more 
appropriate option.

Respectfully,
Oleg
