I can't help with much about this but all I can say is I doubt it's down to the video card I had an ATI Rage 128 Pro running 10.4 for years and it worked well, but obviously it's an outdated card. I've even got one running XP now and it plays plenty of games perfectly happily
The one piece of advice I CAN give is to upgrade the card (even if not related to this) get Quartz Extreme running :) best regards Iain Thornton --- On Sun, 9/11/08, joplinfan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: joplinfan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: B&W G3 - Strange display problems running 10.4 > To: "G3-5 List" <[email protected]> > Date: Sunday, 9 November, 2008, 4:37 AM > Hi all, > > I have a B&W G3 running 10.4 fairly well... but now and > then it will > exhibit strange video problems such as missing icons in the > Applications and Utilities folders, reloading the desktop > two or three > times during startup, and no response when clicking > Shutdown and > Restart via the menu. > > Usually if I use Force Quit and restart Finder, the icons > will appear > and things will work fine for awhile, but will eventually > disappear > again. > > I've tried all of the simple things including a new > PRAM battery, > reinstall the OS, rewrite the HD with zeros before > reinstall, etc... > but no success.
