Photon Driver for Intel 855GME Chipset

I have an embedded system with the Intel 855 GME Chipset.  Will the Pg.i810 or Pg.i830 driver work with this.  Currently
 the system is using the Pg.flatdc32 driver and we see a very slow window redraw where we can see what is behind on the 
desktop.

crttrap query wants to start the flat driver but I was hoping that one of the other drivers would yield better 
performance.

If one of these other drivers will work could someone suggest the correct command for startup?

Thanks

Larry

RE: Photon Driver for Intel 855GME Chipset

What is the PCI device ID of the graphics chip? If you could post the
output from 'show_pci -v', that would help.

RE: RE: Photon Driver for Intel 855GME Chipset

Looking at the i830 driver source, this device ID is included. If you
look at your /etc/config/trap/crt.node file, do you see entries for the
i830 device ID? If so, you can copy the entry that you require to the
top of the file and then restart photon.

Re: RE: RE: Photon Driver for Intel 855GME Chipset

Good Morning,

I do not see an entry in the trap file for the 3582h device ID.  Can you help with the command line?  Also, can you 
provide me with the Pg.i830 driver I only have the Pg.i810.

Thanks

You will have to download the Photon 1.14 graphics driver patch from our
web site to get the i830 driver.

Thanks :-).  What about startup options?

All you have to do is a "crttrap trap" and then edit the
/etc/config/trap/crt.node file as I described before.

Re: RE: RE: RE: RE: Photon Driver for Intel 855GME Chipset

I downloaded and installed the patch as per the installatioin instructions.  When I run crttrap trap I get errors:

Error starting Pg.i830 -d0x8086 -x3577, I0 -T No such file or directory
....
...
etc

In the trappers directory there doesn't appear to be a file Pg.i830?

/qnx4/graphics/drivers/Pg.i830 does exist and it has the execute bit set.

Please put the attached driver in the directory you mentioned below, and
try the trap again.

Re: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Photon Driver for Intel 855GME Chipset

Thanks Hugh.  That worked.  Unfortunately I still see the slow redraw where I can see the black pterm in behind my 
window.

Any other options or ideas?  Anything that I can tweak for the driver?

Thanks.

Hi Larry,

You should have received a message to say that you have been enrolled in
another QNX4 conference. Please will you post your query there. I'm not
a graphics person!

Thanks, Hugh.
