ATI - ORION
Authored by: blgrace on Aug 30, '02 10:53:54PM

I tried this tip after "Quartz Extreme Check" was telling me that my AGP card was running QE but my PCI Orion card wasn't.
Basically, it didn't work. I tried entering a new key for my PCI card - nothing...
I also tried just deleting the whole entry for the GLCompositorRequiredClass - and still no change. Strange thing was that my AGP card remained accelerated no matter what I did to the Configuration.plist
Oh well, as someone noted, this isn't for RAGE 128 based cards anyway but was worth a try.

Disabling Quartz Extreme
Authored by: cowboy on Aug 31, '02 01:12:50AM

I disabled Quartz Extreme on my iMac G4 because I thought that a display bug in FileMaker Pro might be from it. I just changed the AGP to PCI noted in the hint. It did disable (there is an app at versiontracker to check if Quartz Extreme is enabled), but I reenabled it after I discovered the display bug was not due to Quartz Extreme.

Xlr8yourmac.com has been discussing this hack for several days. I found that on my other computer, a B&W Radeon PCI, that Quartz extreme caused an overall slowdown in my system. The few things it did speed up were not worth the overall decrease in system performance.
