Hi All,

I started restoring nvidia driver (nouveau.hidd). This is still the same driver as latest released for 32-bits.

Below is the first build:

https://build.axrt.org/download/builds/Experimental/exp-usb3-pc-x86_64-20260507-063759.tar.gz

Notes:
- changing resolution in Prefs/ScreenMode sometimes hangs system. Be sure to use SAVE and after reboot the new resolution will be used.
- 3D is DISABLED in this build. ONLY 2D functions are active.


Driver has been tested (2D only) with following cards:

- GeForce 8400 GS Rev. 2
- GeForce 9500 GT
- GeForce 8500 GT
- GeForce GT 220

If you have compatible hardware, please test and report if it works - along with you cards chipset.

i try it works i have 210 GT card

I have a laptop that with the 32-bit build the drivers work, with this one they don't, I have an NVIDIA 7300 GO card

What do you mean? Do you end up with VESA 1024x768 screen instead of native resolutions in Prefs/ScreenMode?

Vesa Deadwood

Ok, got it.

FYI: I set the cut-off level for my work to 8**** family. Everything older then that might still work, but if it doesn't - I won't be spending time to debug and fix. This means that for 64-bit only PCIe cards will be officially supported (7**** is the last family that had AGP variants).

ok I understand I don't intend to use that laptop anyway thanks

Hi All,

An update from me on the topic of 3D:

In order to support 3D, I need to update the "core" 2D driver. This driver currently is based of ~2010 source codes and needs to be updated ~2020 source codes.

This is good and bad news.

Bad - because the "core" driver completly changed in those 10 years and it's not an update but a complete new port. However I'm positive that today, with AI-assisted coding, the new port will take less time that the one I did in 2010

Good - because this will bring support for much newer cards (up to around end of 2017 so GTX 9xx series!!!), to AROS.

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Metaneutrons has imported in aros mesa26.

FYI: To complete the migration I'm freezing Mesa version to current on (20.x). This stops from having too many moving parts.
