XFree86 4.2 for QNX4 released!
I just released XFree86 4.2 for QNX4.x onto openqnx site.
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx
This binary includes all the post 4.2 fixes, like zlib security fix.
This release requires TCPIP5 because of the Unix domain socket supports.
To install, download "xf-4.2-bin-qnx4.tar.gz"
su -
/etc/install -u /whatever/directory/xf-4.2-bin-qnx4.tar.gz
this should install XFree86 4.2 in your /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11
Modify your $HOME/.profile to add /usr/X11R6/bin in your PATH:
export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
You can only run "startx" from the text console. You need to exit
out of the other GUI system (such as QNX Windows, Photon).
XFree86 4.2 uses the same mouse driver as QNX Windows or Photon.
You can start the mouse by "mousetrap start". People usually
already have it in the "sysinit.X" file.
To configure X Window, you need to run "XFree86 -configure", which will
create a "XF86Config.new" file that you can copy into
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. You may want to modify this file to change
some default settings (such as set your own default color depth).
Now everything is ready and you should be able to "startx"
and enjoy. Post any questions to this openqnx mailing list:

I am releasing this XFree86 4.2 for QNX4 in hoping people can
start porting X applications to it. Nowadays people are more
interested in the new/fancy QNX6 but we still have lots of QNX4
users out there. I am including in the tar file some applications
(nedit, xv, xqsh, fvwm95, etc) to get you started.

XFree86 4.2 for QNX6 Released
Thanks everybody who tested the new XFree86 4.2. I decide to
release the final binary to the openqnx site.
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx
This binary includes all the post 4.2 fixes, most importantly,
the zlib security problem as mentioned:
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/articles/security_sources_article-4582.html
(I don't know Xphoton well, maybe QSSL should issue an update
due to the zlib problem).
Everybody should upgrade to this release.
Here is a HOWTO for starters:
Installation:
1) download the "xf-4.2-bin.tar.gz" to your systems from
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx
2) su
cd /
tar zxf /whatever/directory/xf-4.2-bin.tar.gz
this should install XFree86 4.2 in your /opt/X11R6 and /etc/X11
/opt/X11R6 is chosen so that it won't conflict with Xphoton in /usr/X11R6.
3) modify your $HOME/.profile to add
export PATH=/opt/X11R6/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
this will make sure the binaries and libraries can be found.
Of course, you can't run XFree86 server inside Photon directly, you will
have to exit Photon to the text console mode and then "startx".
I configured my system to boot up into text console, so I can either
run "startx" or "ph" to get into either X Window or Photon.
If your system is configured to boot into Photon directly,
you can, as root, type:
touch /etc/system/config/nophoton
and the system will no longer boot into Photon.
(if you ever want to change back to automatically boot into photon,
simply remove /etc/system/config/nophoton)
To configure X Window, you need to run "XFree86 -configure", which will
create a "XF86Config.new" file that you can copy into
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. You may want to modify this file to change
some default settings (such as set your own default color depth).
Before you can "startx", you need to start the mouse driver. The
follwoing are two examples, you can do "use /usr/photon/bin/devi-hirun"
to find out more..
for PS2 mouse:
/usr/photon/bin/devi-hirun -Pr ps2 mousedev
for MS serial mouse on COM1:
/usr/photon/bin/devi-hirun -Pr msoft fd -d/dev/ser1
(if you've used photon, you will need to kill and restart devi-hirun).
Now everything is ready and you should be able to "startx"
and enjoy. Post any questions to this openqnx mailing list:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openqnx-developer
If you need to run some photon applications occasionally, you
can do so via "phinx". Questions can be posted any and cdm@qnx.com
should be able to help you out.

Qt3 for QNX6
From: "Jorgensen, Jens H":
I have uploaded Qt3-qnx.tar.z. The contents is
based on work by Sergey V. Sobolev and myself.
There is a README file in the tar.z file which describes how to compile
qt-x11-free-3.0.2.tar.z with static QT libraries. I am going to continue
to work on getting things like support for shared libraries up and
running.
Questions should be directlly to the openqnx mailing list.
