It seems obvious the card works, otherwise you wouldn't see the Open Firmware screen. Have you used verbose boot (Cmd-v) to see what's happening? At this point, I think it's some higher level video problem, I'd recommend reinstalling the latest Combo Update for whatever version of OS X you're using. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
