I just swapped my Xclaim 3D Plus video card from a 7500 to my 8600 with
a G3/300 upgrade card. All works fine except on start-up and restart. If
I use the keyboard power on key, I hear the start up chime and hear the
hard drive start to spin up but my monitor stays dark. No apple smiley
face and no gray screen. When I power down using the case switch and
restart with the case switch the monitor comes on with the start up
screen and all is normal. I've reinstalled the latest drivers and even
tried a patch I found on the ATI support page but to no avail. Even
zapped the pram a few times. I've plugged the monitor into the
motherboard video out and that works normally with the keyboard power
key with no problems.
The video card worked perfectly in the 7500 machine with the keyboard
power key.
Grateful for any ideas or fixes.
Sam
