I did follow the thread at the beginning before it turned into a class

RageLT driver so that those users would benefit from video hardware
acceleration. I did drop the ball when I moved to a Pismo, so I don't really
what happened, but it looks like Apple didn't want to do it, hence it
resulted in a class-action...
IIRC, Apple did provide 2D Rage support in 10.2.
Yeah, but the power of the Rage chip was in 3D, not 2D... and we have yet to see 3D support from Apple, even on a basic level. I could care less about DVD support since there are options, but I want basic OpenGL support!
Although to answer your S-Video port question, I have been able to use it under OS X 10.2.8 and 10.3, even accelerated! I just put the Lombard to sleep and plug the connector in. Be careful on how you set the video size/depth, because allocate too much and Quicktime can't get accelerated anymore. (I use the S-Video cable for TV viewing)
