guiyoforward Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) Ok, I've been trying to push development of kernel mods to get dual core functionality on portable Core (2) Duo processors with 10.4.8 kernels. Now that semthex has released his sources (thanks dude!!), I think the community development could get us started on this seemingly minor but essential tweak. This is the link to the source: http://www.semthex.com/index.php?option=co...19&Itemid=1 Any takers? I've already offered 50 bucks, if others want to pledge please do it here... Feliz Navidad!!!!!

phun8890 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I don't have Core 2 Duo, so wouldn't donate to that... but I will for AMD X2 64. I would also donate to anyone that can come out with good driver to get GeForce 7950GT 512MB functioning.

hiroo Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 excuse my ignorance, but what specific support is needed? i'm running the original semthex 10.4.8 kernel on C2D E6600 right now and it seems to work ok with dual core support, etc. the main thing that doesn't work is sleep, but i thought that was more of a motherboard or bios issue.

guiyoforward Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 hiroo, of course you are excused! we are talking about MOBILE versions of CD / C2D, of which we have no confirmed dual core functionality... I think yours is a desktop processor. anonymouss, I understand that it might seem funny to pay for this, but if you think about it we've had semthex and other's versions of the kernel, which is a great achievement, but we still haven't managed to get the dual core support. so if someone manages to do it I say bring it on and get your reward!! I'm sure semthex and others are pretty capable to do it, but they probably don't have the time nor the right hardware to test it on. anonymouss, are you taking the challenge of these 20 lines of code?

Why don't you specify that you need MOBILE C2D development? Desktop C2D works like a charm.

fruitylooper Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 i cant afford to put any money up but ive been waiting for core duo (laptop) to work with both cores for ages! in fact, im not even using osx at all. i do music production and the only reason i want osx is for logic, but until both cores are working im stuck using cubase sx on windows. one core just isn't enough............ there are lots of people after this fix and i check this forum everyday - just to see if its happened. if it is just a case of editing 10-20 lines of code then why doesnt someone do it and earn yourself some easy money?
