There are drivers built into Mac OS X. They are working.

Which kernel extensions do you want to import, into what do you want to
import them, and why?

> i have headaches

What type of headaches?  Are you suggesting your video card is causing
your head to physically hurt?

ATI performance is generally better on Mac OS X than nVidia.  This is
likely due to Apple having more experience and better luck at optimizing
performance for ATI hardware than nVidia hardware. There's not much you
can do about this. That's just the way it is for Mac OS X at present.

no one can convince me that it is normal for Ati radeon 9600 w 128MB
RAM give 114 and 145 points in graphic benchmark and nVidia 7800GS with
256MB RAM gives 90 and 114. these are fps values in OpenGL test.
