Yes, but they're still not releasing eveyrthing, which is one of the major
issues. They're going to provide some programming docs, and some stuff
that can be 'downloaded' to the card, but not full programming information
:P
I can't say if xf86 + g200 works under QNX, because I've never used a qnx
system to begin with(I don't need an RTOS for anything I do). I do know
that XF86 3.3.4 had issues with other operating systems, which is why they
didn't release binaries for other operating systems..
