I went back & had a look at the archives -- I assume this
is the beige G3/300 you wrote about earlier, thus we can
rule out the partitioning being the problem. It may well be
a Jag problem; I've heard of people having problems getting
Jag up on beige boxes. I'm running 10.1.5 on mine because
I never got around to (attempting) the upgrade.

Is XPF supposed to get around those problems? Looking at
its webpage, it at least implies that it's for older Macs.

You might want to have a look at this thread:

Even if the AV card is Apple-issue, you might have to remove
it while installing & maybe you can put it back in after you
get it going. (I'm using the stock G3 video & it's not that
bad, but I don't play twitch games either.)

Out of curiosity, is your G3's motherboard Rev A (Rage II
graphics) or Rev B (Rage Pro)? I wonder if that makes a
difference.
