If it was that simple, Dragon or Moon would've done it already. The fact that nothing has surfaced would lead on to think its a little beyond them.

Well,from what I understand, the drivers that are needed for HDMI to work aren't generic. They are proprietary drivers written by Motorola and they haven't (won't) release the source code for them. So, given that, any dev who wanted to try to get it working would have to write the drivers themselves. From the ground up. It would require a huge amount of time and work. Not such a simple task.
lolwut? this was made when DZK first released his video showing ics on the dx2. why would we update this? its not like its out... and calm down with the caps lock, you can turn it off you know...
If you really followed DK then you would know he is busy with school. Wait till summer or do it yourself. Good luck!
Ask moon shadow or message dragon on twitter if you really want to know.

This is a pretty disappointing response IMHO. Granted, he had troubles with people making improper commits with his work on CM7 when he had more up on git, but honestly there are a lot of new android users on the dx2 and this would be a great opportunity for more people to LEARN so we wouldn't need to be dependent on one or two devs for our device (especially since the only major dev supporting not only this device but others as well is nitro). As we've already seen ace is definitely a capable dev (although being somewhat hindered by lacking init information) and if we had more information released we could see even more development for this device from other devs as well.
Plus, CM9 is nice and all but there are a lot more ICS based roms being developed now (AOKP, Gummy, Axiom, etc) that have progressed much faster than CM9 and everything is based on OPEN SOURCE. Credit can be given where due, and we are all definitely thankful for the work dzk and others have done thus far. BUT our device is difficult enough as it is with the proprietary libs and drivers used by Moto and nVidia, having this hindered by devs unwilling to release techniques used is just going to hinder the progress on the device, not better it.
You cannot see the future; Dragon MIGHT be planning on releasing everything shortly after he is finished. The man can withhold whatever info he wants. He owes us absolutely nothing.
And add far as his interactions with ace: it is quite possible they have been talking this whole time. You never know...

Well I would love aokp on this beast and I'm sure tons upon tons of people could port it, without a 4.t kernal what would we have? Crap. U wanna help( u sound alot smarter than me) check out the kexec thing...
Cyanogenmod
HDMI already works in cm7dx2 but only in portrait.

Not saying he owes us ****, but I am saying that it would further the progress on this device. He can do whatever he want, but putting forward more information is going to be beneficial for him and us. Understandably he's got other **** to worry about, we all have other stuff to worry about, but the more heads working on this the better/faster we can get kinks sorted out.
Actually even with the GB kernel ICS would be great on our device. I've got a DX running Gummy right now and it's very smooth (and it can run CM9 and AOKP just fine as well). What would REALLY be beneficial though is the HWA (hardware acceleration). As far as working on this goes, I would love to get a working port of Gummy but this is my first Android device as well, so there is a lot to learn, which is compounded by the fact that not everything with our device is open source (so, again, props to dzk as this is clearly not a cakewalk.)
So no one else can produce what dragonzkiller has done? This is his baby why would he want to give it away? This is his project and he takes pride in his work. I would not hand it over also. I would want others to figure out what he did just like he did. Don't get me wrong I would love ICS but don't think DK needs to give away his work.
Hahahahaha
Edit: my bad, dude snapped though lol.

Is there a good thread for noobs to post bugs for CM7dx2? The how to thread asks for bugs to be posted in it, but it is a development thread so nogo for noobs (like me).

I'm beginning to loathe the term noob. Don't label yourself man
Get your post count higher by hanging around the general section to get to the developer section. You don't have to be a dev to get into the section btw.
If you have multiple questions, start a thread in the q and a section.

Correct, the issues plague almost all builds of CM9. Please keep in mind that CM9 is BASED on ICS which was "just released" so it will take some time for all the developers to get it fully functioning. There are some Alpha and Beta releases of CM9 out there. These releases are coming from a development TEAM. The TEAM for the DX2 is one, damn awesome, developer. DragonZKiller! Hashcode is helping where he can, but he remains the lead CM9 developer for other platforms. I'm helping when I can (even though I don't code or program). It will take time. CM7 wasn't developed overnight, or in a couple of weeks either. Especially when the code changed from Froyo to Gingerbread. Keep this in mind.
As of my last test build from dragonzkiller, there were some where in the neighborhood of 13-15 items on the "do not work" punch list. Since then (about 2 weeks have transpired since that build) he has fixed a good number of these items. I haven't received another test build to test out, however, I am confident that things will progress.
Also, keep in mind that dragonzkiller is developing the cm9 ROM in his spare time. He has other commitments that are much more important to him. Give him breathing room, time, and the space to do what he does best.
I for one, am grateful that we have a committed developer for the DX2. I know he will post things via twitter (@dragonzkiller or http://www.twitter.com/#dragonzkiller) when he has something to share.
Ciao!5
Not everybody uses twitter.....I can't stand it. This thread is very helpful for those who don't use twitter3
More like you're being impatient and demanding and you want to throw the responsibility on someone else. Just relax. DZK has done amazing work for us and he has a life. We need to let him do things on his time table, not push him away by enforcing ours.
