Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement

[Hamlin Krewson]

It's a moot point in any case, since Apple never promised graphics 
acceleration (of any sort) on these older supported systems (nor was it 
ever planned). It got added as a compromise (on Apple's behalf) as a 
way of showing that they were willing to listen to user requests. Read 
the original release for 10.0, it says only that the OS will run on any 
computer that was sold with a G3 or G4.

Nope, sorry... don't buy that. There is an ATIRagePro.kext and 
ATIRageProGA.plugin (2D acceleration) and the GA plug wasn't even 
activated for the Lombard until 10.2.4, you needed a hack before that. 
The RagePro.kext refers to a non-existant ATIRageProGL.bundle for 
OpenGL acceleration. There is no 3D acceleration for the Rage Pro 
chips. The 128 Pro is NOT the same as the Rage Pro, but newer and 
appeared in the Pismos.
