Snuffy,
I have the same Card in my Beige unit, running OS9.1.
I happened to save the fix in a SimpleText doc.:
I run a Radeon PCI Mac Edition 32 MB DDR card in my
PM8500/Newer 500 MHZ G3 CPU machine, under Mac OS 9.1.
I am using the latest Radeon software drivers with
OpenGL 1.2.4. The ATI extensions are dated 07/08/02 and
require OpenGL 1.2.2 or later. I got the OpenGL stuff
by downloading Mac OS v 9.2.2 and using TomeViewer to
extract the OpenGLEngine, Memory, Library, and Utility
extensions v 1.2.4 from the System Software folder in
the Installer. ATI provides the OpenGLRendererATI
extension v 1.3.3 in their download package. All these
extensions seem happy together on my computer.
I don't know what site I got the info from but it works.
So you need these: OpenGL version 1.2.4 from OS9.2.2
OpenGLRenderer-ATI version 1.3.3 comes with the RADEON-0207
OpenGLLibrary
OpenGLMemory
OpenGLRenderer
OpenGLUtility
OpenGLEngine
These get installed from the RADEON installer.
ATI 3D Accelerator
ATI 8500 3D Accelerator
ATI RADEON 3D Accelerator
ATI Rage 128 3D Accelerator
OpenGLRendererATI
ATI Graphics Accelerator
ATI Video Accelerator
ATI Video Digitizer
ATI Resource Manager
ATI Extension
ATI Mac2TV Monitor
ATI ROM Xtender
ATI Guide
ATI Displays Control Panel
Here's a copy of the email The guy above sent me:
1) With your Rage Orion still installed, replace your active OpenGL extensions
"OpenGL Engine," "OpenGL Library," "OpenGL Memory," and "OpenGL Utility" with
the new versions. Leave whatever version of "OpenGLRendererATI" is active now,
because the ATI Installer will replace it with v 1.3.3 (if you have the July
2002 ATI software driver package).
2) Run the ATI Installer and then shut down your computer. Hopefully this will
make active all the required extensions the next time you boot.
3) Replace your Rage Orion card with the new ATI Radeon 7000 card.
4) Boot your computer and open your Extensions folder. Hopefully everything will
be working properly, so now you can either trash or move to your "Disabled
Extensions" folder the extensions "OpenGL Renderer" (not used by the Radeon
card), "Built-In Graphics Accelerator" (function is replaced by "ATI Graphics
Accelerator"), "ATI 3D Accelerator" (not used; "ATI Radeon 3D Accelerator" is
the only one you need), "ATI Rage 128 3D Accelerator" (ditto). You absolutely
need "ATI Radeon 3D Accelerator" and "ATI Resource Manager." If your displayed
text is messed up, don't panic; see 5) below!
5) I am something of a minimalist, so I also have disabled the "ATI Displays"
control panel and the associated "ATI Extension" which supports it, the "ATI
Video Accelerator" (I don't use it), and the "ATI ROM Extender." (My ROM is a
hardware ROM, and keeping "ATI ROM Extender" as an active extension screws up
all my displayed text big time. I don't remember your Mac model, so you may need
it if your computer's "ROM" is in software.)
6) You will note in the ATI software ReadMe file, that ATI recommends the use of
QuickDraw 3D RAVE version 1.6, since the version 1.7 apparently causes problems
on some Macs with the latest Radeon drivers. In case you are running some other
version than 1.6, I have attached v 1.6 here. (FWIW, both versions work fine on
my PM8500/Newer Maxpower 500 MHz G3 CPU.)
Snuffy,
I had a Rage Orion in mine when I put the RADEON in so just substitute Rage Orion for your existing TwinTrubo card in the text.
If you need all this stuff I can email it to you if you want. I have it stuffed. It's 3.7 MB.
Let me know.
