Why won any of the regular Windows video drivers work?
Existing ATI video drivers don’t work because they usually hang while doing an I/O probe. The firmware on the ATI video in the Macs is different from the firmware on “normal” ATI PC video cards, thus the drivers get confused. This seems to be the major problem for the moment, but there could also be a conflict with the EFI loader or the video drivers making BIOS calls of some sort (which is unlikely). Take a look at the Drivers Page from time to time. If there’s a video driver for WinXP on a Mac, you’ll find it there first.
