No, it's not. My Macbook is an X3100 video card and has the same problems.

Which version of OSX do you have, TheEarthWillShake? If it's working for you, then you've got 10.5.2 or below. 256 color support was taken out at the OS level in 10.5.3, so no matter what care you've got it won't work.
 
The last apple dev mailing list I found listed it as a bug affecting only intel and nvidia drivers. And people on the forums I've read post fixes for nvidia and said ati was working fine. At least during 10.5.3. I did read a post recently that gave me some hope however, a blizard dev said they were working on a patch to update their games. That fixes a few of my games at least (and proves once again how awesome blizard is)
 
Frankly, I have trouble believing the X3100 ever worked. The GPU doesn't support 16-bit colors, so I'm surprised that it does support 8-bit.
 
I think i'm just going to go the crossover office/games route. Until blizzard or apple gets a fix released. Blizzard seems to have every intent on keeping these games alive. That does not however fix my older non-blizzard games that have the same problems.
