mifki Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 umm ,yes you do, this is most likeyly only for newer cards so macvidia is still good. and they dont work native you need to patch them and have anohter kext loaded as far as i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Kahuna Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 To clarify, it wasn't 100% supported, there were still textures that weren't loading... he's close, but nowhere near done yet. Patience, as always, we'll know when it is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience, as always, we'll know when it is out. Owhh.. I almost wet my pants looking at the picture!! Hopefully we can have it soon.. 10 months is quite a long time but i'm still grateful to ppl like omni and np_ for working their asses off to get the drivers ready!

murcielago585 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 finally, some good news for my 7600GT, does this mean we don;t need efi to get our video cards supported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Elf Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I didn't remove OSX because I can use 1280x1024 resolution with the Boot.plist edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 i didnt have problem with the resolution even if my real pc i use x768 (17'' monitor) so it was ok the OSX was very fast but i was trying to run after effects,final cut,photoshop,flash without acceleration and it was not good so i said...ok man remove it cause its not a toy and you install it again when the GFX card will be supported. so... has anybody finish the download of the full 10.4.8 with the new kernels??? what is going on with the nvidia cards? about the omni's screenshot... does it mean that he has OpenGL support also?? can somebody confirm ?

Dark_Elf Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I had problems only with iMovie. Photoshop works good, but I don't use it so much. I use Dreamweaver and Eclipse and they work good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 darkelf how can you test such apps when your gfx card is "offline" ? or did you test them in another system with ATI? my opinion is that without QE or OpenGL is like trying to open the photoshop in XP in safe mode or with the plugnplay gfx card and monitor am i wrong? after nvidia is supported and QE/OpenGL also the results will be the same? i think,no way! i didnt have either 2d acceleration but the speed in photoshop was like working in my normal PC with all the drivers set (maybe -10% perfomance in OSX without gfxCard supported) after the QE/OpenGL enabled will not go faster? the osx gui was very fast,i can tell this only some scratches at moving windows and scrolling broswer windows because of no acceleration i want to blv that after the nvidia supported specially those apps will be about +50 faster and about those apps i want to try mac thats why i removed it now,cause right now i cant tell for sure if it really worths i like to experiment but also i need a good reason to try in XP without the gfx card installed ,noway i could edit video in afterEffects no way i could either play video or open a broswer to surf i tried afterEffects 6.0 ,it opened with no problems but it was obvious about the speed (but it was stable) afterEffects 7.0 and finalcut crashed with the message about openGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Elf Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I use Photoshop only for basic photo editing (like resizing, red eyes correction, etc.), and I don't use filters or advanced functions. iMovie simply doesn't work becacause it needs QE. I use Dreamweaver and Eclipse for web applications and I don't need QE/CI for this. Obviously it's clear that for your needs OSX without QE/CI is not good.

ccg Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I wish someone would put this much effort into audio drivers like Omni has done ccg It seems that omni finally made it!!!We do not have to rely anymore on macvidia!! http://omni.starchaser.org/ Look at this!!! http://omni.starchaser.org/cap1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giandal Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 I see omni has added that the drivers have not been touched (on the contrary of what Kiko suggested) and that he used pure DVI. This last sounds bad for me. I already couldn't use the macvidia drivers because my monitor has only analog input!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Elf Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Pure DVI? Ahw! My monitor is analog too . Maybe with an adapter will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthology Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 OT: isn't it wild that everything is coming together now that the Kernel has been fixed?

xtreme571 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 OK OK...so do we have to download certain kernels??? or are there just drivers we can download? Is Omni TITAN released yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
