    Quake RAVE or GLQuake will freeze a PowerMac 6500 if a dedicated graphics card is used

    With the ATI Rage 128, multiple drivers work, I have tried every driver version from the oldest to the newest I think. But they all freeze in quake - I have not been able to fix that issue. If anyone here has a 6500 or a TAM, please try running Quake RAVE with a dedicated GPU and let me know if...

    Quake RAVE or GLQuake will freeze a PowerMac 6500 if a dedicated graphics card is used

    The issue with loading extensions was resolved by undoing the patch (zapping PRAM). I did try that version of the driver you linked now, but it does not display an image on my monitor unless I also install the 9200 firmware upgrade (rom extender) from gona.mactar.hu

    Quake RAVE or GLQuake will freeze a PowerMac 6500 if a dedicated graphics card is used

    I have tested installing MacBugs but it does not help as the system freezes without displaying MacBugs and becomes completely unresponsive so MacBugs cannot be invoked manually. The only thing that the computer responds to is the force reboot key combo.

    Quake RAVE or GLQuake will freeze a PowerMac 6500 if a dedicated graphics card is used

    Let's try to solve this problem once and for all! PowerMac 6500 has a bug that causes a total system freeze if you try to run Quake RAVE, GLQuake or Hexen II for a few seconds. The freeze always happens at different times, but it *always happens* eventually. This bug has been confirmed by me and...

    The Great Gazelle PCI Hack Thread, Part 2

    Thank you. Zapping the PRAM solved the issue with the ethernet card, and probably the extension problem as well but I don't know because I don't have radeon drivers on my fresh install. Did anyone ever solve the problem of the PowerMac 6500 not being able to run 3D games for more than 30 seconds...

    The Great Gazelle PCI Hack Thread, Part 2

    Apologies for the silly question, but I tried running the firmware hack thing posted by @Phipli and now I have to undo it - how do I do that? After running the hack, my PowerMac 6500 can't load extensions if a monitor isn't connected to the Rage 2 card, and with a fresh new install of OS 9.1 it...

    iMac G3 - Capacitior List?

    I would also be interested in such a capacitor list, I am working on an identical broken 700MHz iMac, however on my machine the logic board is broken, not the analog board.
