I was just about to place an order for a Mac Pro, but the appearance of this Free Software driver for the i945G is making me strongly reconsidering buying a Mac mini or Macbook.

Knowing that it will be a constant battle trying to keep the closed nvidia drivers working when I make changes to the kernel and to xorg, I'll be much more inclined to go with Intel graphics hardware.

And I'm sure we don't even need to mention ATI. Their drivers, aside from being proprietary, are just plain trash.
