As far as I'm aware there's no such thing as a driver update for a graphics card in OS X beyond what apple includes in it's software updates.
I've done some looking around when I started having problems with crashing on my iMac. Frost is right, there are no 3rd party drivers for any video cards for any mac platform. They are all included in OS X and all updates.
Well, crap. That means that it runs via bootcamp w/WinXP but not the Mac version. Oddly enough it runs just fine on my non-pro. I wonder if it's because hers is an ATI & mine is an NVIDIA.
Thanks, folks! I appreciate the replies.

Graphics corruption might be because of the hardware instead of just the drivers. Have you tried other 3D games on the machine? Does it work in XP under bootcamp OK?
You can also try downclocking the GPU with this tool, although you should be careful not to damage the hardware by overclocking.
If underclocking fixes the corrupted textures, or other games or bootcamp also show corrupted textures, your GPU might have issues outside of driver problems on OS X.
[Edit. I just saw that your x1600 is NOT supported by the ATi tool, so that part isn't a help to you at all.]
I'm not sure how you got to the latest version of leopard, but you might want to try installing Leopard Graphics update (here) and then running the combo 10.5.7 updater (here). Sometimes the delta updates aren't as reliable in updating all the software components.
PS. One more edit. This thread here on the apple forums details people with hardware issues with the macbook pro x1600 models and some various attempted fixes. Some were successful, others not. Hopefully your problems aren't because of hardware defects. :P
Heya, folks! I did some online digging both at ATI's website and some general searching and couldn't find out what driver I should be running.
My wife has a first generation 15" MacBook Pro. I just updated to the latest version of Leopard and upgraded the RAM to 4GB after a hard drive crash & reinstall. It has a 256MB ATI Radeon X1600.
I just installed the client but the world textures are freaking out at me. I tried adjusting the graphics down, but that didn't help any. Is there a different driver I should be running?
Thanks for your help!
