I had 10.2.something running on a beige G3's built-in video for a while with no problems (other than some sluggishness). I flashed a no-name x86 Radeon 7000 PCI video card with the appropriate firmware for Mac use and got a bit of a speed boost from it. (The only remaining issue is that there appears to be no way to disable the onboard video, so if you don't want to run a dual-head setup, the first phases of the boot process insist on showing up only on the onboard video.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
