Help!!!
I got an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac 128mb card from eBay so I can run motion on my dual 1ghz g4. I am having the darndest time installing it.
When I boot up with the ATI card, I see the gray screen with the Apple logo on it and the spinning circle, then I see the blue Aqua Screen, then nothing happens.
Usually what happens is I see the OS progress bar as OSX loads up and then the user signin prompt.
I can boot into safemode with the card installed, and 'work', but the card isn't being utilized. Core Image and Quartz Extreme report as not supported in the system profiler.
I have downloaded the files from ATI:
August 2005 ATI Card ROM Flash
ATI Displays driver 4.5.6
I am running Tiger, 10.4.2.
I have flashed the ATI card about 10 times, using the system admin, root, and having safemode on. I never see a window pop up alerting me to the firmware version to be replaced (which is what the ATI readme says will happen), but the ATI software says that the installation was successful.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
