Just a quick warning - make sure you are not using "Internet Explorer" as it really is not very good on the Mac side (as it is no longer being updated) - it tends to currupt downloads and sometimes chops the end of the file off (hence a DMG file would not work).

Again, most of my friends have PCs, those that have Macs have either iMacs or Laptops. Its a real pain not being able to test it anywhere. I asked CanCom about testing it - they quoted £45 just to check if it works - may as well spend that £45 on getting a new card... if at a later date I can...

Is there a better sound daemon for X11 on Mac other than the one fink has? (enlightement or something) - its not very good and has bad sound range.

hehe I wish I had several Macs, that would be a surefire way of testing the ROM... as it is I have to rely on what I know about macs and hardware. I reset the PRAM before, although it did not fix the problem, it did fix a problem I had with my audio settings :) (kept setting the balance to...

And just a note : I have posted about this before... no its not the drivers, no its not 3rd party software and no its not a PC card converted to Mac. I don't mean to sound rude just don't want a stream of questions like 'what OS are you using' - it matters not, I know where the problem is (well...

My Radeon 7500 recently died on me. 2D runs fine as long as I dont allow the drivers to load, if I let the ATi drivers load at startup, feeze right away. I have done extensive tests and I have pretty much decided that (somehow) the card firmware has been messed up (either that of the GPU is...

Oh yeah :D sorry, being a little dense today... Just a note for keyboard booting (which I know does not apply here) - if the keyboard is plugged in via a USB hub boot keys don't normally work at all. As for the non-booting CD drive, could it be and IDE problem? You may also want to...

Is it a real version of DW 3 or is it a copy? Copies of bootable discs can often not be recognised depending on how they were imaged / burned.

Because the drivers I have been using have worked for ages and the drivers on the bootcds are quite old - OSX and OS9.

Well, I did say that the card is a Radeon 7500 so nothing new, I also said that I am using 10.2.6 which pretty much has the latest drivers and I said that it has the same result in any OS i have tried with it. Newer drivers will (i would expect) have the same result... but to avoid looking like...

OSX 10.2.6 and 9.2, no apple care, Formac Pro Nitron 19/380. I do have a very basic surge protector (fuse wire based) but it did not trip. All repair programs I can think of have been run. No software problems. I did not clean install, but I have tried 4 different OSs (2 were on bootcds...

Recently we had some very very odd power problems which caused my mac to reset its self 4 or 5 times very quickly - since then the machine freezes when trying to load the radeon drivers for the radeon 7500 that came with the machine. If the card is removed then the machine boots up fine, if the...

Sorry after reading the "Read before you post" i then forgot to do it... Any way, my account is the admin account. The root (or SU) account is setup. I am not using fink. I know how to change my gid by why would that help? I'll try the repair privs but i did that recently and have not changed much.

I seem to be having trouble with terminal apps. When i try and run them I always get "Permission Denied" - unles they are the core apps like netstat. Anything, like ffmpeg and such, give an error. How would I change this?

Sounds like its an OS 9.2 error then... I used to use VPC 3 on my old iMac with 8.5 and it never crashed like it does now... now to findout if 8.5 works on the newer G4s. Thanks any way, helps to know that its not just my machine crashing.

I have setup Virtual PC 3.0.3 on OS 9.2 with a VooDoo2 so that I can get some old 3D PC games working, like Half Life and similar. It works better than expected, 800x600 with few frame drops.... however Virtual PC seems VERY unstable on 9.2 - it crashes with an error type 7 every 10 minutes or...
