About the ATI driver updater, I also have some concerns, thus far, apparently unfounded. The installer for the Oct. 29, 2002 Radeon 8500 updater informs the user that it won't install the driver software in any OS above 10.2.1. But I learned this just after installing X.2.3 (without Classic) on a G4 400 Sawtooth. When I first saw the warning, I quit the installer. A couple of e-mails to ATI got a response that the October update posted on the ATI site "should" work with X.2.3; not "will" or "does" work. Didn't inspire me with confidence. In the end, there was only one way to find out, so I ran the installer. It installed without incident, as did the card. So far it's been running fine. Is this the universal experience? Or are horrible software conflicts looming in my future? I should mention, in case it's significant, that, though it was sold to me as a Radeon 8500, my card doesn't say "Radeon" or "8500" anywhere on it that I can detect, though it does say "ATI" and give a long part number. The Apple system profiler identifies it as: Card Name: ATY R200; ROM #113-85710-126; video memory: 64 MB Regards, Joel Tatelman. >> >> Re-applying the 10.2.2 to 10.2.3 updater fixed my display problems. >> >> This has been noted in some other applications, and esepcially in >> games. >> >> (Now this is moot if ATI has updated that updater on their web site.) > > Maybe they have.
