how about support for the cirrius logic 5434 64 bit chip? vibrant had it in 1.0.4 but not in 1.0.5. i can't run the spider 64 other than in vesa mode. a call to vibrant was no use at all, they said call autodesk, which in turn told me to call vibrant. i like ping pong but not with drivers. if it not going to be included then can you e-mail me the 1.0.4 drivers? i had them but then lost them. sherwood animations

I've emailed the 1.0.4 driver to you. Remember, however: Vibrant has asked Autodesk to say that any problems with 1.0.4 will not be fixed, instead, recommend the customer try 1.0.5. Then, if you have problems with 1.0.5, tell Autodesk, not Vibrant. Autodesk will then officially request Vibrant to fix the problem or support the card. Hope this helps. Nik

the spider 64 is an excellent card, how would i get autodesk to officialy ask vibrant to support it? i really don't understand why it was taken out inrel 1.0.5. i would much rather be using the latest drivers. thanks for the e-mail. sherwood animationss

Your request is official! What we're doing is keeping track of the cards people need supported. We're collating the requests, and someone at Autodesk gives the wishlist to Vibrant at regular intervals. Thanks – is the Spider 64 the full name of the card? Manufacturer?

Nik, Could you tell me if the Vibrant drivers 1.0.5 support the Diamond Speedstar 64 card? I have the ISA version, and the 1.0.4 drivers supported the Cirrus Logic 5434 chipset, but not the specific card. If so, please let me know, if not, please add this card to your list to be supported with future driver updates. Thanks. Doug

The 1.0.5 drivers are a subset of the 1.0.4 drivers. I've just checked, and confirm that since it wasn't in 1.0.4, it isn't in 1.0.5. However, you're registered as a Wishlist for future support. The 5434 chipset selection works, I take it. Nik

Thanks Nik, Yes, the 5434 chipset selection works. Doug
