I managed to make Quake 3 work too!  Here is what I have done : I installed the ATI Radeon 7000 drivers from this website here I also used the sprockets install from this website here I found an install of OpenGL 1.2.1 here (OpenGL_1.2.1.smi.bin) This install requires MacOS 8.1 or later so I used TomeViewer to extract the files. Only the ones called "OpenGL" as I didn't want to overwrite the ATI and QuickDraw drivers. * OpenGLEngine * OpenGLLibrary * OpenGLMemory * OpenGLRenderer * OpenGLRendererATI * OpenGLUtility * QD3DCustomElement (it was not already installed with QuickDraw so I extracted it as well) I put the files in my extensions folder and restarted the computer. To install Quake3 Demo, I used MacOS 9 and then, copied the Quake3 folder to my 7.6.1 hard drive. I launched Quake 3 and it works... so fast!!

When you installed this card, what was your exact process? I downloaded the drivers, installed them. Then plugged in the card. Attached monitor with DVI... nothing. Black screen. Then when I try booting with monitor attached to built-in video... a bomb error happens during boot when ATI extensions are about to show. To get the system working again I have to boot w/o extensions, remove all the ATI stuff from extensions folder... and my system is back to where I started. I've tried zapping pram. No dice. Am I missing something? Thanks

Maybe you should try the VGA port instead of DVI? It is the one I use.

Thanks for the reply, feeef. The bomb error was resolved by starting with a fresh System Folder. Something must have gotten corrupted in the multiple installations and restarts. But the card still isn't giving a signal, VGA or DVI. Did you remove and reattach the large battery on the motherboard? Or just press the small reset button? I'm wondering if replacing that battery would do anything; not sure how old it is...

For my 9500, I think the PRAM battery is dead, so if it has been powered off for a while or unplugged, it'll be black on first boot. I have to power down and then back up again to see anything on the screen. Also, I don't seem to have any problems using DVI. I'm use a 64MB Radeon 7000 with a 128KB chip and flashed to the 2.26 ROM (from the Aug 2005 ATI Radeon ROM Update).

I also suggest you replace your PRAM battery. It may cause a few problems at startup indeed.
