    I dont have any experience of Macbook but it looks like Graphics Card problem. Which Graphics Card do you have? Have you installed Graphics Driver? Does it support 3D effects?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Its an older macbook so uses an intel GMA950 I'm using the i810 driver i believe (at least thats what my xorg.conf says)

    Im also using 915resolution in order to get 1280x800 to work, also GLX indirect is working but I've not yet figured out how to setup GLX direct rendering.
