>Guru says the PowerBase supports >resolutions from 640x480..may be that the >onboard is overscanning the card Hmm. Everything here shows 512X384, 60Hz for the 'lil wonder. Works fine when used on the on board video. It is better tonight, but not 100% healthy. When I turned it on the colors were vibrant and everything tack-sharp. Just like new. Less than 30 mins later the color is a bit washed out again and such. Upon Restart it goes blank unless I turn it off, then on. Writing's on the wall. >which is the other monitor that won't display >with the ATI PCI card? Neither will, but the other monitor is a 14" AudioVision, normally also great (except for intermittant color shift when used for a few hours). Right now it's very happy running from the Thunder 30/1152. >also good is the Apple 13" Trinitron One of my favs too. So in my bravery tonight I re-enabled the ATi Graphics Accelerator for 2D and ATi Driver Update. All systems "go" and we now have 2D accell on the mobo's vid once more. The remainng two extensions, ATi Video Memory Manager and ATi 3D Accelerator I'm too chicken to try. I can't imagine how they'd hurt anything, but I thought that about the ATi card and if they did take out the mobo video the whole computer would be toast. Well, I do have one more empty PCI slot not scheduled for use... Now, somewhere in the mess the CDROM has stopped. I had success with CDT and Apple CDROM 5.3.1, both wonderfully provided by the list. Yes, I've had only one at a time enabled. My external CD600i has also gone on vacation. They each seemed to stop resonding sort of gradually, and my dirty little secret is that I've been using in both a mixture of various pre-recorded CDs and CDRs I've made. The CDRs usually make the lasers work hard before the disc will mount, and perhaps I've damaged both drives? Another day's battle. Gotta get this thing stable soon! -David -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
