    Is this a second video card in the system? Is the video card mac compatiable? Does the primary adapter work?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say its a beige G3 isn't it.





    Those often have problems with ATI cards and OS X. There was a patch a long time ago, but I forget the details.

    Sounds like you're using a Windows-only video card...buy the Radeon 9200 Mac Edition, or go to xlr8yourmac.com and try to flash the one you have.

    I had to do that when I added a second video card to my Beige G3. It really wasn't all that difficult.
