Hi,
No, the macbook uses an other chipset (this was used in the previous
generation of macbook pros intel 945 I think, the video controller is
Intel GMA 950), so the 2 chipsets are not the same. I didn't used refit
or anything, it is not OS X - Solaris dual boot, now only Solaris is
installed (of course, later I will set up the dual-boot environment, but
I think the problem is not with that right now).
