Hello, all!
I'm fairly new to this list, but I must say, what a wonderful community
you've got going here! I'm also relatively new to the Mac scene, having
been a PC'er for many years. I picked up this S900 as a set of "Mac OS
training wheels", if you will, until I've saved up enough for a certain G3
B&W I've got my eyes on. I have to admit, I was totally blown away by the
power of what I thought was an antiquated machine with this S900! I can
well imagine what kind of fun you guys are having with it accelerated. :)
However, I've run into an annoying little hiccup: sometimes when I cold
boot, or even when I restart, I lose my set screen resolution and colour
depth. I am running an SVGA monitor on a Twin Turbo card set to 1024x768
100 Hz, millions of colours, with Twin Turbo Control Panel installed (note:
I was having this problem before installing the control panel, as well).
Occassionally, I loose this resolution when starting and it defaults to
640x480, thousands of colours, and when I check either the Monitors CP or
the Twin Turbo CP, no other resolution is listed as available. The only way
I can fix it is to reboot while clearing the PRAM, and even then it often
takes a couple of tries. Any ideas?
Oh, one more note: the display adapter is in one of the lower 4 PCI
slots. I've thought of moving it to one of the upper two. Would that help?
Thanks, guys 'n gals! :)
