Hmm, I wonder though if graphcis drivers have to be user mode on 7 though... My friend has a GTX 260 and when he tried running some demo from nvidia, it made his driver crash and restart (only when it restarted, he had thousands of dots on his screen).
But when it restarted, it said that it restarted the Nvidia Kernel Mode driver... Also seeing as nvidia's own demo caused that much chaos on a nvidia gfx card really shows how great nvidia is :p On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 3:00 AM, AngelicTears <[email protected]> wrote: > hmm, sorry for rarely post here..been busy on 1.2... > well, user mode driver might do the job great because of these factors... > 1. user mode driver can be restarted on the fly without rebooting..so that > has the potential on Haze's idea (which is a GREAT idea)...and yeah, > MAD_BEAST and I already planning for it not long ago, but it's kinda hard to > do, plus a software like that are hard to do from scratch coz of the > software it self must be able to manipulate system's command... > 2.
