so x1000 not supported yet?
or are we talking a driver improvement?
I was referring to the new video card drivers that bigfoot is working on.
That has been the only remaining issue with X5000/1000 users that the video cards aren't compatible with linux/AOS/MOS.
With the new driver support they won't need to swap cards anymore I guess.
It will also provide a level playing field where a Mac 11,2 PCIe can have the identical modern card as what is in the X series system. Although I would guess a lower level card that is currently supported by boxes is available now for testing.
There may even have been a thread on this site comparing the two. I'm sure Andreas will know of it :).
