I've heard that the TT cards don't work well under OS X, but to
what extent? I'm looking at putting 10.2 or 10.3 on my 9600, and am
wondering whether the disadvantes of its current 8mb TT 128 card
would be bearable or whether I should shell out for a better card.
The installation would not complete- I started up X PostFacto in
verbose mode, and it would always hang after trying to install X.
Save yourself a lot of time & effort, and look for another video
card- I bought a cheap ATI Rage Card, with 16 MB video RAM, and the
installation went perfectly, completing first time. I had a 74 GB
drive partitioned into 3, & had X 10.3.9 on 1, 9.2.2 on another, and
3rd for files, etc. I also had a cloned copy of X on the original 4
GB drive as a fall-back start-up drive- that's to say I had 3
possible boot drives as needed.
As it says above, I never had issues with 9.2.2 & the original video
card.
YMMV,
Pete
