The new Windlight version doesn't seem to get along with iMac. I can't read search results, it appears that they are displayed in white text on white background.
So, as the blog urged us, I went to the ATI site to see about updating my drivers. I have the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO and I'm running Leopard X11. Well, I've spent 2 hours roaming the ATI site and just cannot find where those drivers are. I'm very new to Macs, and quite confused with the different OS. Does anyone know if i need to update the graphics drivers, and where they are on the ATI site? TIA!

Graphics card drivers on OS X are currently supplied by Apple, so as long you are running software-update (in system preferences) regularly then you already have the latest drivers.

running a G5 tower with 10.4.11 3gig ram, Radeon X800XT video card. I get the same white type issue with the new windlight. but at least it hasnt crashed the whole system requiring a reboot like windlilght used to.

PS: ATI hasnt updated mac drivers since 2005. and you can download ATI mac drivers from their company download site.
