I am running a G4/4500 tower with both the Apple AGP graphic card and a
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI graphic card. OS X recognized the VooDoo card immediately
with no problems what-so-ever. The only thing I found was that OS X does not
give me all the resolutions that I can get in OS 9 (using the Voodoo). But a
way around this is to select your desired resolution in OS 9 (if it is not
supported in OS X's monitor resolution list) and restart the Mac into OS X.
Presto, you have the resoultion that you set in OS 9. The resolution is
greyed out in the OS X monitor list but it is active.
