Please post a OS X Snow Leopard 64-bit driver
I don't get what's with all the feet dragging.
We were supposed to get an OS X 64 bit driver last year. Where's it at? |
x2. we need 64bit driver !
|
Would a 64 bit driver dramatically increase performance? Will it be noticeable? I really hope DisplayLink gets some real drivers for Snow Leopard, not all this beta stuff!
|
Last time I checked the forum, 64 bit was supposed to come out late 2009? It's now almost February 2010. Any news on a 64-bit support yet???

Why exactly do you need a 64 bit driver?
Snow Leopard runs 64 bit apps fine without running the kernel in 64 bit. If you're not running the kernel in 64 bit, a 32 bit DisplayLink driver is perfectly adequate.
The benefits of running the kernel in 64 bit are somewhat nebulous. Some Macs with 64 bit-capable CPUs don't even support the 64 bit kernel because the machine has 32-bit EFI, or because the machine is on a hardcoded list of machines which don't support 64 bit kernel operation. If you're booting the kernel in 64 bit, is there a reason why you're doing so? |

It is not a question of why it's necessary. The issue here is the promise of a 64-bit driver by the end of 2009. Look around everyone -- DisplayLink has not had a single post on this forum for the last 4 months. Clearly, we're beating a dead horse. We're never going to get a response from them. |

I am booting into the 32-bit kernel on my Macbook Pro (8GB memory) because I regularly need to use my 3 monitors when I am at my desk. This productivity improvement exceedingly outweighs the slowdown by having GCC, Postgres or other tasks max out at 3.25GB. |
