I did install software first, then the card as instructed, but then found that I didn't have current enough OpenGL extensions (less than v1.2.2) installed. I don't know if that might have goofed it up. I'm going to try a clean install of the OS, software, and then the card as a last attempt. If that doesn't work, the card goes to ebay... getting tired of fooling with this thing, Kent [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
