Qt unable to run qtdemo   
Hi,

I have a problem running qtdemo on QNX 6.5.0 with QT4.7.1 downloaded from QNX webpage (link File Releases on this 
website)

The QNX is a default installation on x86 pc with following pci graphic card:
Class          = Display (VGA)
Vendor ID      = 1002h, ATI Technologies Inc 
Device ID      = 5446h,  Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF
PCI index      = 0h
BAR - 0 [Mem]  = f4000000h enabled
BAR - 1 [I/O]  = d800h enabled
BAR - 2 [Mem]  = f3000000h enabled
PCI Expansion ROM = f3fe0000h disabled
PCI Int Pin    = INT A
Interrupt line = 11
CPU Interrupt  = bh

I do the following steps to start the demo:
- start QNX in text mode (no Photon running)
- login as root
- export following stuff in my .profile of root
QWS_DISPLAY=qnx
QWS_KEYBOARD=qnx
QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=qnx

export QWS_DISPLAY
export QWS_KEYBOARD
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO
- start qtdemo as "./qtdemo -qws"
- and get the following error:
# ./qtdemo -qws                         
QQnxScreen: Attached to Device, number of displays: 1
QQnxScreen: Attached to Display 0, resolution 1280x1024, refresh 60 Hz
qnx: driver cannot connect
Abort (core dumped) 

I also tried to run "vsync" program, which worked and printed following message:
# vsync 
Number of displays: 1
Display 0: 1280X1024, refresh = 60Hz
Number of layers: 2

My ps -A tells following (maybe something wrong is running):

I also tried to slay io-display and restart it with "# io-display -d vid=0x1002,did=0x5446"

same result:
# ./qtdemo -qws" 
QQnxScreen: Attached to Device, number of displays: 1
QQnxScreen: Attached to Display 0, resolution 1280x1024, refresh 60 Hz
qnx: driver cannot connect
Abort (core dumped) 

Do somebody have any idea what could be the problem here? 
By the way: I also tried the same in VirtualBox with the same results.

Many Thanks!

Re: Qt unable to run qtdemo   
Max-

Since you are on the default 6.5 install, please launch photon, change the display driver to "SVGA" and exit photon.

 This should leave io-display with the "devg-svga.so" loaded.  You can verify by running "pidin mem" and looking at the 
shared objects loaded by process io-display.

Now try "qtdemo -qws" - it should work on svga (though slow). 

If this works, then for some reason, Qt is incompatible with the rage driver and/or your hardware.

Hello Dennis,

thanks for the quick reply!

I've tried your suggestion and set the display driver to svga, but the problem stays the same.
pidin mem:

QQnxScreen: Attached to Device, number of displays: 1

I had the same suspicion before, that’s why I've tried to run it in VirtualBox but it looks the same.

Re: Qt unable to run qtdemo   
Hi,

has someone more ideas for this? Is somebody running QT with QNX 6.5?

Re: Qt unable to run qtdemo   
The string "driver cannot connect" comes from libQtGui.so.  (Mine is 13351084 bytes) 
The source file is qui\embedded\qscreen_qws.cpp.. maybe build with some debug printf's?

Re: Qt unable to run qtdemo   
Problem solved :)

It was the Color Mode. The problem only occurs with 32K (+1 bit alpha). No difference if we use our ati driver or svga.

Re: Qt unable to run qtdemo
