MacBook 320M drivers - No update?

The only driver known for this IGP is the one that comes in Mac OS X Install DVD.
I don't remember exactly what version it is, but I think it's something around 196.xx, which is very outdated.

I've looked into drivers section of NVIDIA drivers page but there's no driver for it.
Also, the 320M there is the GT 320M model, not 320M model.

If I remember correctly, old MacBooks with GeForce 9400M can use the updated drivers found in NVIDIA site (also because it's listed there).

So, what's happening with GeForce 320M drivers?

Macbook Pro 13" Late 2009, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

It seems they've abandoned the 13 inch MacBook Pro display drivers. It's quite disappointing. Before buying I presumed I could update the driver from nVidia, but they do not support the 320m either.

I discovered and reported a problem instantly after purchase, but there has been no driver update ever.

Inspired by this thread I revisited the issue again today. I checked if the drivers were updated with the latest 3.2 BootCamp, but they remained the same (196.82).

After that I downloaded the latest Win 7 32bit Verde notebook drivers from nVidia. The 320M still doesn't appear on the supported devices list. I've tried to install these drivers several times before on numerous ocassions, but previously the installation has failed due to "no compatible hardware found".

However, they installed now and I checked the control panel and my driver version was bumped to 260.99 from the old 196.82! Next I'll have to see if the issue with the old and trusted 3ds Max 8 has disappeared.
