The sequence below appeared in the Radeon 7000 report on the xlr8yourmac site. Notice that SteveJ says that it DOES work with accelerated video. I'd love to hear if anyone else has tried this and gotten the same results. Ted
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< " Mike, I haven't seen this solution posted on your site... I bought a Radeon 7000 PCI for a client who needed to run OS X on a Beige G3 and wanted accelerated graphics. Well I didn't discover until after the installation that ATI had retracted their statement on the box saying that it would work with the Beige G3. [Note - the issue with OS X and Beige G3 and earlier macs was noted on this article and the main news page several times since January 2002 when the card first started shipping-Mike] Anyway, I was determined so I spent way too much time working on the issue and finally got it to work! I had to do the following: --install the card and the ATI software --boot from the internal video and enable root access if you haven't already --log in as root [or boot to OS 9 to remove files without permissions issues-Mike] --go to system/Library/extensions --remove all the extensions beginning with ATI and not including 'Radeon' in the name (sorry I've forgotten the exact names) this will be about 6 to 7 extensions with rage128 and ragepro in the names --log out and back in with your usual user account. --make sure that "Show displays in menu bar" is checked in the Displays system preference panel (if you don't do this step, then when you try to change the monitors resolution in "Displays", system prefs will crash. --shut down, attach your monitor to the Radeon card and start up. This worked for me. I didn't try to use two monitors on the Radeon 7000 card, nor did I try to use the video out, but it works to operate a single monitor under MacOS X with accelerated video.
