Will there be a Number Nine Imagine 128 driver in the next relase of the Vibrant drivers in Jan?

I hope So…I just got a new P5-100 w/ 32megs, and a an Imagine 128 1600×1200 w/ 4megs… I want a driver for it…BAD…just imagine a 220MHz 1600×1200 graphics card w/ upgradeabilty to 8megs…also add a Kubota ActionGraphics 300, a 3D accelerater to kill render time to 10secs/frame…and what more could ask for?…BTW Kubota Graphics Corp.'s ActionGraphics 300 costs $2200 and their number is (408) 727-8100…that baby is on my Christmas Wish List… 🙂

>>>I hope So…I just got a new P5-100 w/ 32megs, and a an Imagine 128 1600×1200 w/ 4megs…<<< My setup is the same except I'm using a P5-90. >>>I want a driver for it…BAD…just imagine a 220MHz 1600×1200 graphics card w/ upgradeabilty to 8megs<<< Does #9 have a trade-in for the 8MB? I do have the socket for the 220MHz DAC, though my Nokia 447X only goes to 64Hz at 1600×1200. >>>…also add a Kubota ActionGraphics 300, a 3D accelerater to kill render time to 10secs/frame…and what more could ask for?…BTW Kubota Graphics Corp.'s ActionGraphics 300 costs $2200 <<< That card seems nice, I wouldn't buy one know until support shows up (which it should). By the time software supports OpenGL cards, that thing will be half the cost it is now. It would be nice to see 3DSR5 under NT supporting OpenGL.

I've added Kubota's ActionGraphics 300 to the Product Support Wishlist – thanks.

"Will there be a Number Nine Imagine 128 driver in the next relase of the Vibrant drivers in Jan?" I didn't know there was a Vibrant driver planned for a January release. Where does one find out about such things? (Thanks!) As far as I know, the Imagine 128 will not be supported in that release. I'll make sure it (and the subsequent notes on this thread) are recorded for the wishlist.

>>>As far as I know, the Imagine 128 will not be supported in that release. I'll make sure it (and the subsequent notes on this thread) are recorded for the wishlist.<<< That is disappointing. I was hoping drivers would be coming soon. It supports 1024×768 now, but I was using 1280×1024 on my Viper and was hoping to see 3DS at 1600×1200. I may have to get a #9GXE64Pro to use in the mean time. If Imagine 128 support isn't in the next release of the Vibrant drivers we might have to wait for R5 to use it under Win/NT since the card is a Windows graphics accelerator.

Sorry about that. I have not seen any of the plans for the next Vibrant release and it would be a delightful surprise if I were wrong. Thanks for being patient.
