If you have a video card that worked under Jaguar but now refuses to function under Panther, try the following ... booted from Panther, open the Terminal application and type in the following (you can cut and paste if you like):
sudo nvram boot-args="romndrv=1"Enter your admin password when requested. Reboot and your card will hopefully work. This has worked on older ATI, Formac and other cards that do not have the proper firmware. Saved me about $600 buying an SGI MultiLink adapter on eBay to get my Proformance 3 to work with an SGI 1600SW.
