Wow, quite impressive! But to clarify things…are you sure that Radeon 9200 will work properly in systems prior to 9.2.2? Did you encounter any issues? Is it possible to install proper ATI drivers in OS 8.6 - 9.1? I understand that acceleration won’t work without this driver? Did you manage to...

Thanks for your replies. Sorry, I haven’t specified some details. No, I don’t use G3/G4 card. There was one (Mach Carrier 350MHz G4), but I uninstalled it. I want to keep this Mac (apart from graphic card) in original state because a/ I have other Macs with OS X b/ I use soft which works under...

I know there were similar threads, but I couldn't find things that I need to know before upgrading display in my PM 9600/350. Here are some questions: 1/ What is the biggest monitor size I can hook up to 9600/350 (practically)? 2/ I have 2 graphics cards - Village Tronic 16MB and Formac Pro...

Well, but this is how it looked without ATM, no?

Thanks, guys for all your help! Firstly, I have to explain my situation a little bit .  I am writing at the moment from iMac 24” 2008. I have  some old machines on the attic (Performa 6400, Powermac 8600/200, PM 9600.350 and G4) and recently decided to revive at least some of them. At the...

No, it's 17" Samsung SyncMaster 172S. My PM has a Village Tronic graphics card (16MB I think), and OS 9.1 is configured normally. I have also 2 other disks with OS 9.0 and 8.6. Can't see any difference.

This article is interesting but, SmoothType doesn't seem to work, well. It makes fonts very uneven and blurry. ATM is better. If I turn off font smoothing in Appearance control panel and enable ATM, fonts look sharper, but all curves and diagonals look rough. A capital "V" letter looks like a...

Well, I installed ATM because I didn't like the look of screen fonts. Anyway, if it has to look like that is this because only bitmap fonts are used by the screen?

No, I mean fonts in text editors like Apple works, Claris works,  Text edit and all PDFs. Well, probably pdfs are worst - very blurry. In text editors anti-aliasing doesn't seem to work. I installed ATM, but really can't see any difference so far. Is there a way to improve this?

OK, that's right...it works! I've got version 3.9, but it does the job. Thanks.

You mean for converting photos to desktop pics? But what format should they be converted to?

Hi, I am trying to find a way to use a photo as a desktop picture in OS 9.1. I tried Decor, but it doesn’t seem to work in OS 9. What file format are desktop pictures in general? Is it possible to place a photo in desktop pictures folder (using a proper format) and make system use it somehow...

The problem seems to be solved. I found the answer browsing through internet.  rsolberg was right that this is a matter of diagnostics. I was very surprised as I never experienced this kind of delay in past (and I have some old Macs) maybe because they have less RAM installed (maximum 128MB)...

I tried another graphic card...same problem. Also I read service manual. I've run through all steps in case of display problems including reseting logic board. After this step checking monitor cable or monitor itself is advised. So now I am beginning to think that there is probably some kind of...

Yes, it does. The battery is brand new. I measured it with voltmeter and it's absolutely perfect.

The only way to do it when booting is to plug Mac out. And yes, it helps, but I can't do it each time. Anyway this is not a normal behaviour and there is a cause it doesn't work properly. I am trying to find it.  Now, I am beginning to suspect the graphic card. It's Village Tronic MPDD, and...

Hmm...you maybe right, but why it shows a grey screen almost immediately during first booting after PRAM was reset then (I am talking about the situation, when PRAM was reset, Mac shut down, and then started up again after some time, not after normal restart procedure)? Also I have a PM 8600 /...

Now I have a brand new battery. Mac stopped playing this broken glass sound when booting, but it takes about a minute before the gray screen appears. I chuck out display prefs, reset PRAM again and pushed CUDA button. It helped, but only once. Next booting took very long again. It looks that it...

Sooo....I've tested all memory sticks using RAMometer (over 1600 iterations each) and they all passed. The chances are that the battery is not weak enough to cause major problems, but it is recognised during the startup sequence. Otherwise I don't know what else can cause such a strange...

One more thought before I'll proceed with all those time consuming tests. If everything runs perfectly OK after rebooting (even RAM shows correctly under APS panel), what are the chances that the problem is caused by a damaged memory stick? Wouldn't the problem persist no matter what you do...
