Apple iBook G4 Graphics Update

by Volker Weber

This update is recommended for the 12-inch 1GHz, and 14-inch 1.2GHz iBook G4. It updates the graphics driver to fix a compatibility issue that may exist with applications that use OpenGL.

When this update package is downloaded and installed it will replace the old ATIDriver.bundle with a new one.

I am applying the "one two" rule here. Count to two days before installing and see whether others are having trouble. Anybody out there who wants to go first? :-)

And what if this is a really critical security fix and others ARE having trouble? Like e.g. with the MS patch for the security hole the worm Sasser uses.

You know, I'm always in for a test of probably faulty software. However, I do not own an iBook of the type given above. Nor do you, as far as I recall. For it's an official update from Apple but one that doesn't show up when I check "Software Update" I don't believe it's intended for our line of iBooks anyway.

For I'm seldom right but never hesitant, I gave it a shot. May this answers your initial question. Seems like this update won't do any harm to your iBook ;-)
