Here is another link regarding the Voodoo 5 5500 PCI.
http://www.macledge.com/Reviews00/voodoo5/voodoo5.html
I have one in a G4/500, it works well under 9.2.2 and 10.2.8, but 10.3 identifies it as a 'Voodoo 5' an 8 bit card, and shows my second monitor in black and white, but displays tell me it is 640 x 480 using 256 colours, my eyes tell me its black and white. Does anyone know if there are any 10.3 drivers for it?
I don't really want to change it, as it is a good card.
Thanks in advance
I've got a voodoo 4 pci in my g4/400 yikes. This went to black and white after the install of 10.3 but i got it working. try this:
MacFixIt reader David Besade has posted a possible solution to the MacHowTo forums. He writes "[...] the fix is pretty much guaranteed for 3dfx cards, and maybe older ATI cards but those have been mixed reports."
"Open the terminal and type this: sudo nvram boot-args="romndrv=1"
You will then be prompted to enter the administrator password.
After restarting, the fix should have taken effect.
