Quick question - once the 64 bit drievrs are avaialble will there be a 64 bit versions of Cube 2 or similar to show the capabilities?

Cheers,
Nigel.

@retrofaza has been porting 3D software lately. Hopefully he or someone else will step in. We do have DOOM3 for 64-bit though

I'm aiming to get the driver updated "relativelly quickly" so I can move on other migration topics and finally close the migration to 64-bit. As terminills noted, newer driver comes with more dependencies which means more time and effort. Once migration is done, then there will be space to re-visit this topic.[/quote]

I see. I'm just saying cause each time you devs update the drivers, seems to be a hard work, so instead of climbing the mountain twice, maybe doing it just once would be half the job, even we have to wait longer, but you must know better

Good news!

The new driver is showing first signs of life - detecting monitor resolutions. See screenshot.

Cards to test the new driver have arrived. Less then 100 euro for all of them, so totally affordable.

GT 240
GTX 550Ti
GT 630
GTX 750

Good news, thank you

deadwood: First of all, thank you for your hard work.

Are these GPU's that will be supported by the driver (at least initially), so I can plan to get one of those models and it will probably work?
Which one will you target first (at least for native resolutions and 3D OpenGL if possible)?

Again, thanks man, great work

Yes, I expect each of them to eventually work (assuming the original nouveau driver works with them, which it should). I'd hold off with purchasing until the ported driver is more mature - I don't know yet which one will be the first to be supported.

Will the GeForce 8600M GT be supported in future?

On the same ACER Aspire 5920 laptop, ‘Intel High Definition Audio’ and ‘Intel Pro 3945ABG 802.11a/g/n’ have never worked. Is there any hope that they might work in future? Thanks

I assume "M" stands for Mobile chipset?

I'm right now testing using 8500 GT (desktop) so a desktop 8600 GT should also work. With mobile, there might be some quirks. We will have to see if it works once I start releasing alpha drivers.

That question is quite off topic for this thread. But HD Audio can often be fixed on particular machines by small changes to the driver. Intel wireless would require a completely new driver, so it's a much more ambitious goal. However, I'm working on supporting 802.11n, which would be a building block towards that.

I suggest creating new threads for either of these two topics if you want to discuss them further.

Yes, it is. And TI for the "Titanium" version, which are special accelerated versions. I don't know if they also brand it like that inside the drivers, but they do for the downloads
