Sounds like until you have a chance to do this, I'm outta luck on
accelerated video. Keep me in mind for beta testing, please :-) Can I
assume I will be able to use the card with offb as usual? What about
dual monitors with xinerama - should that still work, albeit
unaccelerated?

Odd... surely there's no way I'm the only one with Mac and a 7000,
eh? Wonder why I never ran across this issue in searching the
archives... the only citation I found was the issue about it being in
the top slot, but I had the impression that the correspondent had it
working... will go look that up again.
