Nicklas Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 OK OK...so do we have to download certain kernels??? or are there just drivers we can download? Is Omni TITAN released yet? No it´s not, its just in test and he didnt release it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I see omni has added that the drivers have not been touched (on the contrary of what Kiko suggested) The process of getting the native drivers to "work" is patched Feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 there must be someone that finished the download with the new 10.4.8 to tell us about the new kernel/nvidia kexts compatibility i cant grab this rls yet cause im on amd but even if i wanted everybody complains about seeders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliquis Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 there must be someone that finished the download with the new 10.4.8 to tell us about the new kernel/nvidia kexts compatibility No, because more or less everyone is stuck at the same spot since there are only two seeders and over 2000 people trying to get the files. Said spot is 90.7% atm, I guess it will get done in 12-18 hours.i cant grab this rls yet cause im on amdSure you can, AMD support will be released as patches against this release, not as a whole new one.but even if i wanted everybody complains about seeders Which doesn't matter. Sure they could have spread it to more seeders first but that would have taken just as long time as they only got the upload speed they have, so the only difference is that the torrent would have been put up later but with more seeders instead of early and with few. But noone would be done earlier, quite the opposit since atleast now the ADSL people can't download that much of it and therefor have to share!?!?!! and therefor help distributing it, if there where more seeders and faster downloads I would assume many of them would just leave as soon as they where done and let others share the goods.

Wisam Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Wow, it looks really nice. I have Geforce 6600GT and I want to test every feature of it specially, QE and OpenGL performance, TV tuner. Omni you rocks !!!! Can you give us a hint when to get the driver. We can't wait to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borisbadenov Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I see our friend Omni is back on the case of making video cards work; this time though with nvidia. I would like to know more about what he is doing. it is a shame that he is so thin skinned and closed source (is he related to BillGates?) We, the community, might progress further and faster if he would share he work. I have always prefered nvidia over ati. I do have an nvidia card myself and I would love to help out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonES Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 We, the community, might progress further and faster if he would share he work. I'm fully agree with you. Proprietary soft is a slow death of OSX86 community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicheusz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 We, the community, might progress further and faster if he would share he work. Skilled people make some kind of rivalization witch developing, we see this on 10.4.8 kernel, they work of they own rather than collaborate. I think that is hard to give "the precious" to someone else because omni nvidia driver can become borisbadenov driver. I don't believe that all these hack are for highest good of all, it's like hacking, who is first, is the winer and take all "credits". They make it for they own but it's good for as, non programers. Because of this I don't think that omni make some big change and put it to public, if he know that for now he is far to final solution then probably don't take risk, some one can beat him and take the glory. anyway these screenshots are like showing food to some starving people and then taken it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonES Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Skilled people make some kind of rivalization witch developing, we see this on 10.4.8 kernel, they work of they own rather than collaborate. I don't think so, such people like JaS, ruffus help to semthex, now I'm working with mifki on some features. Simply mifki and semthex have different approaches.Because of this I don't think that omni make some big change and put it to public, if he know that for now he is far to final solution then probably don't take risk, some one can beat him and take the glory. This is an egoism, than worrying about community (I don't mean omni exactly, just sentence). Such politic killing comunity, e.g. omni closed callisto and doesn't want to share source. Thats all, calisto is dead. Another example, without forcedeth driver, my RealtekR1000 driver was not be possible. And do you know why you HDA codec still not working? Because Sigmatel9200 is not open for contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giandal Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Tried the new Jas DVD (semthex kernel), the nVidia HAL loads up correctly, but when I log in I get the display problems already mentioned by omni plus my nVidia 7300GT (that should be one of the "natively supported") says no QE/CI...... that means I still need some additional driver hack! It would be really nice if omni would come to the rescue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 so its not natively supported,needs some hacking i really wanted to know that but for sure i didnt thought that omni managed to get that screenshot with a simple installation of the osx10.4.8 with 8.8.1 kernel i hope that we can except for a beta release asap at least for 1,2 cards and then all together can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't say that this approach is good. It's all about hacking, I in some way I understand this, glory is everything what they get, but like I am say I am "starving"... and I want this project to be public as son as possible.

nixblicker Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I wish omni would explain a little bit more what he has done and where it might lead! Just seeing this wonderful screen-captures make we wanna cry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 ok im not gonna cry but i would really like to know what is going on i just look at the screenshot and wonder... is this just a hack in "text" and nothing is recognized really i guess not is openGL supported? has the QE and CI changed something now the nvidia supported or is just supported but not trully is it a project like the others? (1 year with slow steps) or we are getting more close to a solution for the nvidias i had many hopes with the 8.8.1 and then came out also this screenshot and now i dont know what to blv EDIT NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO??? http://omni.starchaser.org/cap2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberracus Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 its working for me, anyway... Omni is a proven developer he had helped in the past the EFI team effort, NP_ is another of the Great ones, really he likes to contribute to the scene. Lets hope omni driver is working in short time. For what i saw in his site i can say: OMG That is a real driver teh video card is fully recognized and the open gl stuff and QE is working, and omni says its a DRIVER not a hack so it can be wonderfull a driver could be used in MAC PROs so they can use any windowz card, that is gonna quake the market. I hope only, this time, omni shares his knowledge with the DEV team, he can have the credits as semthex and mifki got, but an open source would be amazing. Thi isnt a "make money project", at least not in the spirit. anyway good work omni and np keep it up, and make us proud delivering a driver for the macs wich was born in a ihack. my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Wishful thinking, but I hope this helps the ATI cards along too. Not having QE/CI on my laptop is the only thing keeping me with Windows. Ok, I lied, Half-Life 2 being Windows-only is definitely keeping me with Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
