Thanks Tom. I was going to try your suggestion, and I still need to
rebuild the desktop as I had some weird things happen last night, but
the problem with the card appears to be fixed. This is what I did. I
disabled the onboard video, but I could not restart in OS X. Open
Firmware told me something or other failed. So I typed "bye" and it
started up in OS 9 with the Radeon Card. But then when I started up in
OS X, the onboard video in OS X had not been disabled. Maybe it was b/c
it had the VGA adapter still connected to the built-in vga port. So
after a few of these tries and retries and forced restarts--probably b/c
the machine was sending the video to the built in video and I didn't
realize that--I thought it just wasn't giving me any video at all since
the screen would remain black--I got it working correctly in both 9 and
X. So that's cool. If I ever can't boot the computer and I need to
re-enable the onboard video, I suppose the only way would be to take out
the PRAM battery and reset the the cuda button right?

I would suggest starting with your extentions. Take
them to the bare minimum, keeping only what you
need. Then zap the pram, rebuild the desktop & see
waht happens.
When I zap the pram on my system I have to let it boot
on a black screen & then reboot to an awakened
screen...
