I have the Radeon plugged in directly, but I was using a converter from the Mach64 to the Monitor (since it's a db-15 PC style monitor).
... For the heck of it I tried reinstalling OS X, everything seemed to go smoothly but then my bloody cable modem lost connection so I couldn't do the needed updates. :( Christopher A Lemon, MCSE, MCP+I Senior Web Developer, APWA National Sites American Public Works Association Kansas City, Missouri | Washington, DC -----Original Message----- From: Shone, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 5:23 PM To: Unsupported OS X Subject: Re: Beachball terror! 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. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Lemon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 8:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
