devg-vmware.so

Graphics driver for VMWare virtual machines

Syntax:

io-display [-vf]
           -d vid=[0x]vendor_id,did=[0x]device_id[,deviceindex=index]
           [-c config_file] [-p priority]

Runs on:

Neutrino

Targets:

x86

Options:

For the general io-display options that you can use with this driver, see io-display.

Description:

The devg-vmware.so driver provides 2D support for machines running QNX Neutrino on a VMware virtual machine.


Note:
  • VirtualPC and VMWare require a Windows session that's operating with 32-bit graphics.
  • Graphics drivers run at a higher priority than applications, but they shouldn't run at a higher priority than the audio, or else breaks in the audio occur. You can use the on command to adjust the priorities of the audio and graphics drivers.

800x600 60 16, 24, 32
1024x768 60 16, 24, 32

Restrictions:

Files:

This driver needs the following at run time:

libffb.so
Software rasterization library.

Caveats:

VMWare sessions default to resolution 1024x768 with color depth argb8888. This setting is forced in the enumerator file located in the following folder: /etc/system/enum/devices/graphics

To change the host's default resolution setting, you can modify the value in the enumerator file.
