Are you using any adapters between the card and your Monitor. I had this
problem on an S900 with the Ultimate Rez Video Card. I Had an Apple to VGS
Monitor Adapter in order to go to a KVM Switch Box. Once I plugged my Apple
Monitor directly into the Apple Monitor Port on the Video Card the upper
left beachball went away.

Subject: Beachball terror!


I have a 9500 PowerMac w/zForce G3/400 upgrade running OSX v10.1.5 and
have to say except for the occasional '<application> has unexpectedly
quit' it has been a solid performer.

*however* that is until last night.

I had the original Mach64 video card in the 9500 and added an ATI Radeon
7000 the other day.. Although I decided *not* to hook up the second
monitor, I left the Mach64 in and just used the Radeon.

Normally I have not had any problems doing such things, however this has
always been in pre-OSX land.

Since then, I have had the great displeasure of the beachball on my
top-left of the screen right under the beautiful Apple logo.

When I look in ProcessViewer, I find that the only thing sticking out is
'Mach-Init' which I assume isn't part of the Mach Kernal, but the Mach64
init portion 'trying' to wake it up.

*initially* everything was peachy.  The only annoying thing was is when
I originally put in the Radeon and powered up the machine ... It showed
two displays in the 'Displays' settings, even though there was one
monitor was hooked up.

I thought removing the video (mach64) would resolve this.. But alas, it
did not.

So, assuming I am correct and it is the video subsystem trying to
initialize the Mach64 -- how do I STOP that?

I haven't been able to find a way to 'pull' that out of the startup
processes...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
