¿?¿?
It will be supported thanks to the SNAP p96 driver, so why reinvent the wheel?

yep, would be cool.  then my PC might lose a graphics card :-)

SNAP drivers are supposed to be coming at a later release, so said that 9MB MP3 didn't it?

AFAIK SNAP only supports 2D stuff - for 3D, only a software renderer would work :-(

---edit----

Can anyone remember what Ben said about the SNAP drivers?  I asked a question throught the UGN ICQ, missed the answer, and the only audio I can find misses out the first part of his explanation :-(  :roll:

You mean "Gforce 4 support for OS4", right? ;-)

That would *only* be interesting if you mean full 3D support. If not the 3D functions of that card can be used, then there are some really nice fanless 2D cards that might be more interesting.

BTW, Nvidia only supports pre-compiled drivers for Linux, right? Does anyone know if they support the PPC?

Who cares about NVidia. Except those who still lack a vacuumcleaner.

And big boys say NVidia cheats on 3D benchmarks.

no, they don't
there was some time ago a web with a petition to nVidia to release PPC versions for linux but I can't remember the URL...

BTW Radeons work quite well, are cheap and fast, the Amiga/MorphOS native drivers will probably work quite well, you can buy one in any pc shop... well, I can't see the point in trying to support undocumented hardware that gets hot too fast when you can have full support and documentation for Radeons (and the run a bit cooler).

Bleh!

I dont like these forums where you have to reply if you want to see something on amiga.

Geforce or ATI, I dont care.  Let OS4 be released FIRST!  :-D

NVidia cards are hot, noisy, and there is nothing on an A1 that'll need their (often lied about) power anyway.

YES.  As a GeForce 4 owner, I would like to see A1 support for them.

So you're saying you want a computer and an OS that works with your GPU, not a GPU that works with your OS/computer?

That's like shopping for the right car to install your stereo in, and you KNOW IT! ;-)
