    Usually resetting the pram and nvram cures any problems with a change of
graphics card - however - the cmd/opt/p/r keys must be held down before the
grey screen appears - especially for the nvram. Success at resetting the
nvram will result in the mac displaying the default 640x480 setting. There
may also be a boot into open firmware command for it....though I am guessing
at the moment.....Also if you are replacing an 8x agp card (Radeon 9800
Pro)in a mac which has the small adjacent adc slot with a standard 2x/4x
card the 8x card must have been taped on pins 3 and 11 or had the pins
removed. No tape left in the slot perhaps...?
