X server configuration?   
I'm not sure whether I should post this question here, but I at least it's related to Qt..

Recently I'm trying to setup the running and building environment for Qt and qwt in QNX.
And I find X server is required to make this happen.

So I installed some packages from pkgsrc, following are the list:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
modular-xorg-apps-1.5 Modular Xorg application meta-package
modular-xorg-fonts-1.1 Modular Xorg font meta-package
modular-xorg-libs-1.0nb1 Modular Xorg library meta-package
modular-xorg-server-1.6.5nb9 Modular X11 server from modular X.org

xf86-input-vmmouse-12.6.6nb1 Modular Xorg VMware virtual mouse driver
xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0nb2 Modular Xorg mouse driver
xf86-video-nv-2.1.18 Modular Xorg NVIDIA video driver
xf86-video-vmware-10.16.9nb1 Modular Xorg VMware virtual video driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it's a silly question but I don't know how to use this X server...
Can any one tell me how to configure this thing?

BTW: My QNX6.5.0 runs in VMWare.

Thanks!

The X server X XPhoton could be a alternative: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx/files/xphoton.4.3/

But are you awarte about this project?

Re: X server configuration?   
Hi Armin, thanks for your advice, but even if I can install Xphoton, still I have no idea how to use it, just like X 
server...

Hi Dennis, the examples in qwt-6.0.1 do work without X server!

So maybe it is the version of qwt I used before(qwt-5.2.1 from pkgsrc) that caused the failure to run the examples ?

The pkgsrc version of qwt is targeting a desktop - the newer version (6.x) is targeting "Qt embedded" - which matches 
the Qt package associated with this F27 project.

You have to start it in normal X server environment .... no 
configuration needed. qwt works with Xphoton ...

Re: X server configuration?   
Zhiying-

Armin's xphoton sounds like a good suggestion, but I was able to download and run the examples WITHOUT X.  In fact, 
since it is looking for X implies a problem - that means it is NOT looking to use the "Qt Embedded" model!  From the 
INSTALL file... 

-----------------------------------
D) Qt Embedded
--------

I only tested Qwt with Qt Embedded in qvfb (Virtual Framebuffer Devivce)
Emulator on my Linux box. To build Qwt for the emulator was as simple as
for a regular Unix build.
-----------------------------------

This is the model required for QNX.

Here is what I did... ON SELF-HOSTED 6.5 - using a PC - that was already setup to build and run Qt binaries,

1) Downloaded http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/qwt/qwt/6.0.1/qwt-6.0.1.zip

2) Unzipped archive to /qwt

3)  From a shell...
# cd /qwt/qwt-6.0.1
# qmake
# make
# install
# cd /qwt/qwt-6.0.1/examples/dials
# qmake
# make

4) To run the example, telnet into the pc, and run
# devi-hid -Pr mouse kbd
# cd /qwt/qwt-6.0.1/examples/dials
# ../.bin/dials -qws &

Thats it!

Re: X server configuration?   
Dennis,

just to point out that the embedded version of Qt doesn't support the integration with Photon.
