Note 10.X Core Voodoo / XNU Kernel AMD OSx86

Do you need AMD Software and AMD Patcher

Since the release of the voodoo kernel I've stopped to work on them. I think that there are obsolete but maybe it's a mistake. Thus : If you, AMD user, cannot use the voodoo kernel on your system. Please put a message here !.

i still think these are valuble pieces of software and should not be forgot and certainly not scrapped maybe just put on hold any further dev. You never know what snow leopard may bring!

Field Note #2 @lateralusman 2009-03-24

Well I think the Voodoo kernel is causing my ongoing mouse lag problem: Mouse Lag/Choppiness →

I'll have a working system one boot then if I restart and log back in my monitor shows no signal then I see the mouse for a second on a blue background then that screen goes away then I get to the desktop and my mouse is jumpy and sluggish. Booting cpus=1 or fsb= doesn't work.

So ya I could use it. iDeneb 1.3 is the only distro that worked for me. and I think that's because there was another kernel for AMD users.
