really? I'm buying a mbp in the next days and therefore I haven't tried yet, but reading some pages I always found that ati drivers require a legacy bios. For example, here http://modular.math.washington.edu/macbook/ I found | I reconfigured my laptop to tri boot OS X/ XP / Linux. This was the | only way I could find to have both OS X and Linux and get legacy BIOS | emulation, so that I could get accelerated 3d graphics, moreover | I was able to compile the closed source radeon drivers somehow, but | they don't work since I haven't enabled BIOS emulation yet. so I assumed that they need the bios provided by bootcamp.
