I noticed that the G5 can come configured with either Nvidia fx5200 or 6800GT

Is this what the hackers are trying to crack for OSx or is there some other issue?

I know the nvidia windows drivers are global, I can load the same in my desktop and laptop (5200 and 6800go respectively)

 

I know, I know, just hoping

The problem is that the Nvidia (and ATI for that matter) drivers are broken in the developer release.

 

There is a dedicated wiki (I'll find the link sometime) where some great dudes are trying to build (sorta) their own driver for OS X x86 using the darwin sources and the freeBSD driver source.

 

At least I THINK thats what they're doing. I'll have to have a looksee at the wiki later on.
