Ha! Can you even buy them yet? Weren't they just announced yesterday?

Based on the iMac -> B&W G3 experience, it will probably _almost_
work, but need some additional tweaking for whatever new curveballs
the new chips in it are throwing. (Then again, maybe it will just
work, since the code is better and more robust now than it was when
the B&Ws first came out.)

Nope. I don't think there's a standard for those, so there would need
to be a specific driver for each vendor/model/whatever, and you'd need
to get the detailed specs of them to write one. (There's no reason it
couldn't happen in principal.)
