Yeah, I don't know why the drivers for this rather common video card were left out of Leopard, but obviously they were. Somebody at Apple goofed?
Ted, are you sure it was the card that was bad, or only the driver? Bill, I can e-mail you the two ATI drivers that the original owner of the G5 e-mailed to me, if you'd like to have them. Both were dated 2005, one from January and one from December. The newer one refused to install, but the older one installed itself just fine and the screen trouble was over. As I mentioned earlier, the video card (Radeon 9600) is now offering 19 different resolutions for the 23-inch Cinema Display, the highest one 1920 X 1200. I do believe that this card, with 256 MB of RAM, will run the Apple 30- inch display, because the previous owner says it does with no problem-- in fact it appears from his Ebay ad that he did it (see his description here: <http://tinyurl.com/288ozte>). I have his e-mail address and I suppose we could also confirm that with him. He seems pretty savvy about video cards and drivers. I sure like the look of those 30-inchers in the Apple Store, but who can afford them, even used? Merry Christmas!
