Did you install the driver for the new video card?Can you make the old video card work under Leopard?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183384\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I did not install a new driver. Do I need to?|The old video card worked under Leopard.Do I need to reload the old video card and load a driver for the Radeon 2600 XT?Thanks.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183387\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I just installed a 2600 XT in my Mac Pro 1.1..With Leopard, it is plug and play. If the card is well seated and locked in place..probably bad card. Call Apple support...my monitor went black after 6 hours fine after reboot but that was not encouraging.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183390\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Do I use the DVI connection on the monitor and the Mac ( an early Mac Pro)?Do I need to install a driver for the Radeon 2600?Is there a specific Mac version of the 2600?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183400\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
There is a specific 2600 for the Mac Pro..order from Apple Store $149, free shipping...no drivers to install..DVI connection..If you didn't buy from Apple, it is unlikely that you have the correct card..BTW @ $149, it is a "cheap" upgrade for a Mac. I ordered mine online and it arrived in <24 hours with the "free" shipping option.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183409\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
My Radeon 2600XT is NOT Mac specific. Hopefully, that is the issue. I will return this one and order another from the Apple Store.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183749\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I made the same mistake...I bought a card and was assured by the sales staff that it would work in a mac..just down load the drivers..Wrong..Only the 1900 xt and the 2600 xt Mac specific will work unless you do a hack or run under MS software. BTW, the 1900 is not a good option.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=183766\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
