How can I run io-display for QNX Advanced Graphics TDK?

my QNX is installed on VMware

I try to run io-display with coral or vmware drivers, but it failed (i think my config file is corrupted)

Re: io-display problem

Do you have a /lib/dll/devg-vmware.so ?

Basic command line is:

io-display -dvid,did -c /etc/system/config/display.conf

it is usually:

io-display -d0x15ad,did=0x405 -c /etc/system/config/display.conf

You need a corresponding 0x15ad,0x405 section in your display.conf:

device {
  drivername=vmware
  vid=0x15ad
  did=0x405
  display {
     xres=800
     yres=600
     refresh=60
     pixel_format=argb8888
}

I think the format changed slightly depending on the version of AGTDK you are using, so cross reference the above with 
the other ones in your file ... you can also do:

use /sbin/io-display

which gives some information on the file format.

Regards.

io-display -dvid=0x15ad,did=0x405 -c /etc/system/config/display.conf

Re: io-display problem

Thanks.

I have /lib/dll/devg-vmware.so

and config file:

device {
  drivername=vmware
  vid=0x15ad
  did=0x405
  deviceindex=0
  display {
    xres=640
    yres=480
    refresh=60
    pixel_format=argb8888
  }
}

but command io-display -dvid...did... outputs:

Could not initialize device "vid=0x15ad,did=0x405": Function not implemented Check 'sloginfo' output for more details
io-display failed to initialize

what's wrong?

Re: io-display problem

cd /
find . -name devg-vmware.so


I believe you are using the wrong version of driver.  Type 'sloginfo' to see what it says.  The older Photon devg-vmware
.so is not compatible with AGTDK ... I am not sure you could have both installed on one machine at one point.

Re: io-display problem

Patches 841 GA are available in the general AGTDK download section.  It contains an updated AGTD vmware driver.

http://www.qnx.com/download/group.html?programid=12308

Please be aware, that you cannot currently have Photon and AGTDK installed on the same system, only one or the other.

Re: io-display problem

I have Photon installed, but don't load it when trying to use AGTDK.

Thanks a lot for link.

Re: io-display problem

Double check the install/release notes, or contact tech support, because I am pretty sure AGTDK install will overwrite 
the Photon install.

Re: io-display problem

The only component that can be overwritten by the AGTDK patches
(depending which installation method is used) is the photon graphics
driver (E.g. /lib/dll/devg-vmware.so). So if you want to be able to run
photon on the system your installing the ADTDK on, you need to make sure
to save the original devg-vmware.so so you can restore it before trying
to run photon.

As far as getting io-display running, whats the output from "use
-i /lib/dll/devg-vmware.so", and from "which -s devg-vmware.so"?
