Installation notes for Graphics drivers.#

To install graphics driver:

1. Download the graphics driver from Software Updates 2010 page.

2. Unpack the driver:

# zcat Pg.i830.20100202.tar.gz | tar x

3. Compare the cksum results with the checksum posted on the Software Updates 2010 page.

# cksum Pg.i830

4. Backup the existing graphics driver.

If you wish to keep a copy of the existing driver, you'll need to save them to a safe location first, to prevent them from being overwritten during installation.

# cp -vc /qnx4/graphics/drivers/Pg.i830 /qnx4/graphics/drivers/Pg.i830.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`

5. Copy the updated driver to the /qnx4/graphics/drivers directory:

# cp Pg.i830 /qnx4/graphics/drivers

6. Make sure that the binaries are executable and that the file's owner and group are correct:

# chmod 775 /qnx4/graphics/drivers/Pg.i830
# chown root:root /qnx4/graphics/drivers/Pg.i830

7. Add the following lines to the /qnx4/graphics/trappers/crttrap.list file

Pg.i830 -d0x8086,0x2e42 -T

or download the crttrap.list file and update your current /qnx4/graphics/trappers/crttrap.list file:

# cp crttrap.list /qnx4/graphics/trappers/crttrap.list
