TiBook video drivers

Hi all,

How do we get hold of OS X video driver updates for TiBooks? Are they
supposed to be intelligently downloaded as part of the software updates?

I read on a MacNN board that 3D is MUCH faster under OS 9 than OS X when
using the Mobility Radeon 9000 that comes with the new systems because
OS X is currently relying on drivers for the 8500 or something
(apparently, the 9000 drivers aren't finished). How much of this is
correct, I don't know.

Anyway, ATI's site suggests that laptop manufacturers will make drivers
suited to their own models available when ready. But how does Apple
handle this nowadays? It doesn't look like display drivers can be
downloaded on their own, so does Apple make it known when such drivers
are included for specific cards in general system updates??

Thanks :)

Andy
