video card confusion
Authored by: corradokid on Sep 15, '02 05:36:38PM

Jaguar installed without a problem and worked as expected in the following configurations for me in my 533MHz 'digital audio" G4:

AGP ATI Rage128Pro, PCI ATI Rage128 (Orion) = no Quartz Extreme on either monitor.

AGP nVidia GeForce4 MX, PCI ATI Rage128 (Orion) = Quartz Extreme on GF4MX only.

AGP nVidia GeForce4 MX (driving dual monitors) = Quartz Extreme on both monitors.

With every configuration, there were no oddities and things worked seamlessly OS-wise under OS 9 and OS X.

PCI Extreme! [was] video card confusion
Authored by: crephoto on Mar 20, '04 01:16:17PM

I've been running the PCI "hack" to enable Quartz Extreme on PCI video cards which support it (ATI RADEON) in my old (unsupported) Umax S900-G3/400. I recently installed Jaguar on a Beige MT-G4/400 which also has a Radeon card. When I attempt to enable QE on the Radeon card, Jaguar refuses to boot. Likely this is due to the fact that the built-in video can't handle QE, but I can't find any way to selectively enable the hack only on the Radeon. I read this thread which was interesting, but obviously I can't remove the built-in video to try the solution myself. Anyone else have a suggestion? perhaps adding anothe rline to the Configuration.plist file to further qualify the enabling of QE? Finder windows are dog slow without QE on this machine. Thanks.
