Sudden problems with AuroraFox on Leopard G5
Past few days I've tried to use AuroraFox 16 and its been beachballing
incessantly and then provoking a spindump---which I've managed to
disable. I thought it was simply time to upgrade, but, AuroraFox 17
and 20 are doing the same thing. I added no new addons, and no other
browser is giving me trouble, not even SeaMonkey with the same addons.
Anyone else having trouble? I wanted to stay on the latest AuroraFox
version which would let me easily use Flash {which is what, 17?]

Re: Spillage on keyboard - broken beyond repair?

I've been using a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard since 2006, with a Powermac G4 DA and a Powermac G5 2.7 DP, and it's working flawlessly. It's made for Windows' PC (has Windows keys), but I can remap those keys to equivalent Mac ones using System Preferences. Besides, Microsoft offer a driver for OSX, for programming media and user keys. Lastly, the Macs recognize startup sequences (like Command-S for single user mode and Command-Option-P-R for resetting Pram) from this keyboard, as long as it's connected to the Mac USB port (it might not work when connected to an USB hub). All in all, a good piece of hardware (as usually MS input devices are), that is relatively cheap (it was 37 euros back then). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

G5 Graphics Card

Re: Spillage on keyboard - broken beyond repair?
All in all, a good piece of hardware (as usually MS input devices are), that is relatively cheap (it was 37 euros back then). I have generally liked Microsoft hardware. My preferred mouse is a Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000, which just works with 10.4. Never had a lot good to say about their operating systems, but their keyboards and mice have always been high quality. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- The fastest way to fold a map is differently. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

You could try comparing it with TenFourFox. If TenFourFox 17 isn't having
the same problem (the code is similar, but rewritten for 10.4), then it's
an AuroraFox specific bug and you should probably report it to Tobias.

Shopping carefully, you can buy a decent used one for under $40. There are decent Mac-compatible substitutes available for less. I like the Macally IceKey, however it has been replaced by the IceKey2, priced at about $30. http://amzn.com/B0093H9EXA I have not tried the second version. I have also been happy with Matias' Mac oriented USB 2 keyboard/mouse bundles for $30 - $40, even though they are their inexpensive membrane keyboards and not their clicky keyswitch premium boards. http:// matias.ca/usb2keyboard/ The USB2 port is kind of nice, although it causes the keyboards to have two cables.

Re: G5 Graphics Card
My original question: Do any of you know if a NVidia GeForce 7300GT video from a MacIntel Mac Pro tower will work in a G5 Quad Core tower (or, for that matter, any other non-MacIntel tower)? Thanking you in advance. Cameron Kaiser spec...@floodgap.com Jan 17 03:25PM -0800 I don't know for sure, but I doubt it, unless it was flashed. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- I am Pentium of Borg.

Sorry :( The cards are cheap, though. -- -- Illirik Smirnov Thanks, mucho for the feedback, guys. Intuitively, I suspected this was likely the case, but didn't know for sure. It only occurred to me that this might be a possibility when someone on the Swap List listed a Wanted to Buy for a G5 Graphics Card, which is also a PCI-X card for Macs. OTOH Apparently I can use this card in one of the other PCI-X slots in the Mac Pro Tower. I don't know if this would allow for an expanded desktop or simply a mirror of the primary desktop.
