Help with porting a linux SNC driver to OSX

Hi guys!
I'm a regular joe, so this thread might be in the wrong section and if I appear dumb it mostly because I am..and have lack of knowledge about the unix world. Smilie
Please move the tread if needed.

To the problem.
We are allot of people in the OSx86 community that need a linux driver ported.
A SNC driver for Vaio laptops already exists here:
Sonypi - MalaWiki

The communication regarding this issue started here:
Some tracks for VAIO display support - InsanelyMac Forum

And the developing is continuing here:
Progress about TV out / VAIO black screen / NVS 140 - Project OS X Forums

Shorty I have getting this information with my average joe understanding:
Every Vaio laptop with nVidia card have this issue..well a missing driver to make this work. It seems to work in Vesa mode but it turns black when the graphic acceration starts..

Do you guys know how to port this driver or perhaps you know someone who can do it?

Testers are available. at both insanlymac forums and the projectosx forum.

Allot of people are willing to donate to make this fly.
So I'm asking you guys if you could help out?!

Sincerly
B

qmail-users(5)                                                  File Formats Manual                                                 qmail-users(5)

NAME
qmail-users - assign mail addresses to users OVERVIEW
The file /var/lib/qmail/users/assign assigns addresses to users. For example, =joe.shmoe:joe:503:78:/home/joe::: says that mail for joe.shmoe should be delivered to user joe, with uid 503 and gid 78, as specified by /home/joe/.qmail. Assignments fed to qmail-newu will be used by qmail-lspawn to control qmail-local's deliveries. See qmail-newu(8). A change to /var/lib/qmail/users/assign will have no effect until qmail-newu is run. STRUCTURE
/var/lib/qmail/users/assign is a series of assignments, one per line. It ends with a line containing a single dot. Lines must not contain NUL. SIMPLE ASSIGNMENTS
A simple assignment is a line of the form =local:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:ext: Here local is an address; user, uid, and gid are the account name, uid, and gid of the user in charge of local; and messages to local will be controlled by homedir/.qmaildashext. If there are several assignments for the same local address, qmail-lspawn will use the first one. local is interpreted without regard to case. WILDCARD ASSIGNMENTS
A wildcard assignment is a line of the form +loc:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:pre: This assignment applies to any address beginning with loc, including loc itself. It means the same as =locext:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:preext: for every string ext. A more specific wildcard assignment overrides a less specific assignment, and a simple assignment overrides any wildcard assignment. For example: +:alias:7790:2108:/var/lib/qmail/alias:-:: +joe-:joe:507:100:/home/joe:-:: =joe:joe:507:100:/home/joe::: The address joe is handled by the third line; the address joe-direct is handled by the second line; the address bill is handled by the first line.
