Actually, not even a reset-all fixed this for me
Well, I can't even get into OpenFirmware..

Your loss really. I found on my (now sold) WS II with 4 megs VRAM and
256-382 MB RAM that Panther was more compatible and more problem free
than Jaguar.

All I said, is that this is not needed. Normally at least. So I wouldn't

I would certainly encourage you to download the XPostFacto application

nervous, then quit the application and there is no harm done. It's

Well you download and install XPostfacto first.
Then you run XPostfacto and it will install some

First, I'm definitely not an expert on this, but from the pull down
