Graphics drivers policy

[Holmlund]

I have a Vaion S2XP, puchased around Oct 25th this year. It is a wonderful machine and as far as I know there is no competitor that can provide even close to this level of performance at this weight!
In particular, I appreciate the ATI Mobility 9700 graphics card that makes this 1.8kg machine in to a rather advanced graphics workstations.

However, the graphics drivers are OLD and do not support recent shaders, and ATI generic drivers refuse to be insalled.
So, WHEN will new drivers from Sony be out?

For me this is absolutely crucial as I am a computer graphics researchers and I specifically purchased the S2XP to be able to run shader programs at seminars and conferences. This is now not at all possible, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am.
However, as disappointed as I am now, I will be equally happy if you resolve this promptly.

This place needs very little moderating really, it's very good for that.

Very true TT. We haven't had people like Pumpkin_riot or VAIOFreak for months now:smileylaugh: Thank god:smileysilly:

LOL if moderating is easy can I volunteer as a moderators apprentice helper?:smileylaugh:

TBH we barely need one lol. But CV needs a Vice-King to be sure :smileygrin:

[jammold]

EMLOL Cool. Vice-King it is then:smileylaugh: I'm sure we also need a second-in-command TT... Fancy it?:smileylaugh:

LOL
TT's right, this place doesn't need 100s of mods.
2-3 at most.
