This is a strange one. After doing all the below, I am guessing it is pram battery related. I had a power failure at work and the date went back in time so I have a pram battery on order from OWC that should be here soon.
I have a DA with a modded (pins 3 and 11 taped) genuine Mac, not a flashed pc, Radeon 9600 Pro driving my monitor. I also had a pci Rage 128 installed as an emergency back up in case of problems with the modded card. I pulled the Rage to put into a Sawtooth that I was setting up. On the next start up of my DA, I got no video from the AGP Radeon, but a completely normal start up and then shut down by keyboard commands. Tried resetting pram and even pressing the cuda, but still no video out on the AGP Radeon. I have not reset the openfirmware. Put the Rage back in and started up off that with regular video out. Immediately shut down, hooked the monitor up to the Radeon leaving the Rage installed and got normal video out on the Radeon. Shut down, pulled the Rage and restarted with no problems and video out on the Radeon. This has happened three days in a row. Today, same thing. Normal startup, just no video out on the Radeon. As a test, I installed the Rage card, but left the monitor hooked up to the AGP Radeon. With the pci Rage installed, but nothing hooked up to it, I got a normal startup with video out on the Radeon. Thanks, Len Scanning the System.log in console, I don't see any errors related to video, but I am including the possible error messages that I can make out from the log: From first start up with no Rage installed and no video out on the Radeon: Dec 24 09:00:16 localhost launchd: Server 431f in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[45]: exited abnormally: Hangup Dec 24 09:00:22 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 launchd: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[63]: exited abnormally: Hangup Dec 24 09:03:38 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 loginwindow[71]: sendQuitEventToApp (TWAINBridge): AESendMessage returned error -609 Dec 24 09:03:38 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 loginwindow[71]: sendQuitEventToApp (MicrosoftMouseHelper): AESendMessage returned error -609 From the second startup with the Rage installed, but using the Radeon for video out: Dec 24 09:05:03 localhost kernel[0]: ROM ndrv for ATY,Rage128o is too old (0xb3c2e331) Dec 24 09:05:03 localhost launchd: Server 4317 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[45]: exited abnormally: Hangup Dec 24 09:05:09 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: ATY,Simone_A: vram [a0000000:04000000] Dec 24 09:05:09 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: ATY,Simone_B: vram [a0000000:04000000] Dec 24 09:05:09 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: ATY,Rage128o: Not usable Dec 24 09:05:09 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 launchd: Server 4373 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[62]: exited abnormally: Hangup Dec 24 09:05:09 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 launchd: Server 437b in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[70]: exited abnormally: Hangup Dec 24 09:05:37 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: USBF: 77.289 AppleUSBOHCI[0x1bea000]::DoIOTransfer - error 0xe00002ed queueing request Dec 24 09:06:58 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: smb_maperr32: no direct map for 32 bit server error (0xc0000033) Dec 24 09:06:58 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: smb_maperr32: no direct map for 32 bit server error (0xc0000033) Dec 24 09:06:58 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: smb_maperr32: no direct map for 32 bit server error (0xc0000033) Dec 24 09:06:58 len-gerstels-power-mac-g4 kernel[0]: smb_maperr32: no direct map for 32 bit server error (0xc0000033) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
