Perhaps nonsense is strong (my anger is directed at Apple, not at you), but the gist of your post is still not right. Even though there apparently was a law suit against Apple, it has not really got anything to do with Rage Pro support in 10.1.5, nor is there full Rage Pro support. I have a Rage Pro, and I am not supported. Not at all. > My memory failed me on the two points you > identified in your post: acceleration for older video cards was > introduced with 10.1.5 (not 10.1.4), and 3D OpenGL is still not > accelerated.

OS X runs like a dead elefant on my Wallstreet, even though my machine is officially fully supported by OS X. It is not just Games or things like that, there is effectively no hardware acceleration. > > From the 10.1.5 release notes: > >> 2D and QuickTime hardware acceleration for Rage Pro, Rage Pro Turbo and >> Rage Mobility is now supported. And that is just not the whole truth, and no better than "full support" was before. I jumped to the ceiling when I read this, only to realize that once again my machine was left out. > > Not a bad compromise, since the Rage II and Rage Pro are effectively > useless for 3D OpenGL even in OS 9.

If you compare the performace of OS 9 and OS X on my machine you'll know what I mean. This is not about Games, it is about using the computer. I still have some hopes that this will be better with 10.2, but currently OS X is simply not usable on my machine, as there is no hardware acceleration. I don't need 3D, but I want to be able to resize a window.
