Re: [Mactel-linux-users] new MBP use nvidia

Hi Ottavio, You probably won't listen to me (I probably didn't listen to others) because these machines look so incredible and seem so nice but my advice to you is to _not_ buy an MBP, at least not any time soon. This is assuming you want to use Linux as a main OS. I love Linux and have been usin

Re: [Mactel-linux-users] new MBP use nvidia

Hi, I'm speaking of the firmware updates (EFI, in this case) that we get as part of a normal OSX software update. These are probably also included in bootcamp, but if the OSX software is up-to-date, a user will already have the firmware update that includes the BIOS emulation. Here is the

Re: [Mactel-linux-users] new MBP use nvidia

Does the Linux Nvidia driver support xvideo (it must), and if so what attributes? I ask because the older intels (955 and older) support brightness, contrast, and satauration but not hue. The newer intels (965) don't currently support any of the those. What about xvmc? Is this a good machine f

Re: [Mactel-linux-users] new MBP use nvidia

Hi Nick, I presume it has power-saving features because Apple claims the new MBP has as long a battery life as the MacBook (they say 6 hrs which probably means 4.5 hrs realistically). The main point for me is that nvidia has much better drivers for Linux than ATI does. They were discussed on pho
