Back when I had a OSX on my laptop, I used refit with GPT/BIOS syncing, and
nouveau worked back then (At least I think it did..I should been checking more
carefully back then)
I was hoping to somehow get away with no bios sync.

about your points:
a) I use(d) 2.6.36/38 in various versions. If your kernel does not boot at all,
you may want check my config at
https://dev.spahan.ch/svn/linux/kernel/configs/config oh, and you MUST use a
64bit kernel with EFI64 I think.
c) that is a error on that page. I can boot with EFI64 but not with EFI32
d) I think I tried different values there. But I  did not get any different
results at all, which makes me think I maybe did something worng, I will try
test again. (As I do not have macosx installed, I am not able to do that dtrace
thing as that is not installed in the install disk environment... well, I try
install it on a external disk and see if I can get any results.)
Additionaly, those screen resolutions there are for the default macbookpro4,1
(1440x900) but i got the "HighDEf" (1920x1200).


Anyway, can a developer tell me if it should be possible to use nouveau without
BIOS at all? If not, I wont waste more time on this and move on to waste time
on try getting BIOS emulation work in Grub.
