Yes, and that is where you went wrong. You made it sound like QNX couldn't do 24 bit colour depth, while the problem was due to your unsupported video card.

Off topic, it's really refreshing compared to the early 2.4 kernels.  Back then the development team decided to start flushing data to swap if it hadn't been used for a while, whether you had free RAM or not.  The idea was to maximize RAM for disk caches, but it was really annoying as a desktop user because it would slow down application switching.

That's exactly what Windows does.

Heh, yeah.  I brought the QNX ethernet floppy to school once.  We have a back room filled with stuff, and I had to dig around for quite a while before I found a 3c509 card, which is an old ISA thing.  Worked fine, but it only supports that and one other old ISA ethernet chipset.

Yeesh.  The 3c509 was my favorite ISA ethernet board, but I'd never want to go back to ISA ethernet.  No Bus Mastering, 10 Mbs max speed....
