Post a debug log (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.msg1180359#msg1180359) (between [ code] tags). That'll help us find the issue.

Err, try to find the latest possible drivers for your GPU. Don't know how that is exactly done on Macs, but still. Also, try removing MV_Advanced.vp.

Yes. Update your MacOS. Then complain in Apple's general direction for ****ing up their OpenGL drivers so hard, it's not funny.

I'm afraid The E is right, although complaining to Apple is of course optional. Your video card is so old, though (assuming this Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units#Radeon_R500_.28X1xxx.29_series) is correct; I assume you have one of these machines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_%28Intel-based%29#Polycarbonate_iMac)) that if Mac OS X's Software Update doesn't have any updates for your video card, you're most likely out of luck.
