The Pg.i830 driver and 0x27a6 device id   
Hi,

Does the Pg.i830 support 0x27a6 device id as well ?
I don't see this number in the latest crttrap.list file.

Regards,
Jacek

Hi Jacek,

I think that 0x27a6 device is untested in QNX4. As far as I know 0x27a6 is 
very similar to already supported 0x27a2 device. So you can add conformed 
line to the crttrap.list and try to trap and launch Photon.

Try to add next line to your crttrap.list:

Pg.i830 -d0x8086,0x27A6 -T

Please inform us about your results.

Hi Oleg,

I will let you to know the result as soon as we get the hardware.

Re: The Pg.i830 driver and 0x27a6 device id   
Hi Oleg, Hi Jacek,

I have here a CPCI CPU Type Contron CP307 with 945GM Express GMCH chipset.
Device ID for graphic: 27a2 and 27a6.

27a2 is recognized and I can use is up to 1600x1200.

But 27a2 is for the VGA port of the board and 27a6 for the DVI port. And I like to use DVI - or maybe even two monitors.


27a6 did not show up in crt.1 after crttrap.
I did as you suggested. I added a conformed line to the crttrap.list. 27a6 is now listed in crt.1 after crttrap. But 
wenn I try to use it, it doesn't work. The DVI port stays black, the VGA port is flickering in a single color.

I did a test installation with windows 7. Both port were recognized and able for even higher resolutions. 

Do you think support for 27a6 can be added ?

Best regards, Werner

Hello,
can You try the Product Suite 2010-12-03 ( QNX4CD.101203.iso ) ?

Hi Robert, 

I tried my older standard QNX installation with the latest Pg.i830 from the file releases.

And I also tried a complete new installation with the Product Suite 2010-12-03 (QNX4CD.101203.iso ) as it is. 

In both tests I added the additional line to crttrap.list. In both tests the same result as described.

Best regards,
Werner

Hi Werner,

As far as I know 27a6 is a device ID for second head of graphics 
controller. But both heads can work with CRT or DVI port. Unfortunately, 
the Photon 1.14 can't display two different screens on dual-head graphics 
controllers. If you want to connect two displays then you have to use two 
different graphics cards.

To get image on DVI you should connect it to a monitor and then boot the 
QNX4 and launch the Photon.

Re: The Pg.i830 driver and 0x27a6 device id   
Hi Oleg, 

yes you are right. 27a6 is the second head in the 945GM Express GMCH chipset.
On this Kontron board the output of the first head (27a2) goes to a VGA connector, the output of the second head (27a6) 
goes to a DVI connector.

I tried it once more. One screen, only at the DVI port. I see BIOS-Messages and QNX text on the DVI port. When I start 
Photon, the screen goes black.

First I thought that I need a Kontron specific driver to do some special kind of initialization for the electronics that
 comes after the chipset. But the windows 7 installation worked right away without a special driver.

The bad thing is, that the signal comming out of the VGA-Port is not very fine at 1600x1200. So getting the DVI port 
work would be great

Best regards,
Werner

Re: The Pg.i830 driver and 0x27a6 device id   
Hi Werner,

I think that this is hardware-specific issue. I can't reproduce it without 
the hardware, so I can't resolve this issue.

Try to use Hydra.ms/Pg.flat* to get Photon screen on DVI-port. The Hydra.ms 
uses BIOS to switch graphics modes.

You can tweak a video output by correcting appropriate line in your 
/etc/config/trap/crtc-settings.<NODE> . Please compare parameters used by 
Windows 7 and by QNX4.
