Does anyone know if installing a new video card will automatically make QE run? Will I have to install 10.2 again or is there some place to turn QE on? <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

it will automatically be activated when the different drivers load for the new card
10.2 installed and is running perfectly on my old Sawtooth with a Radeon 7000 in a PCI slot (running a second display). I have a GeForce2 MX in the AGP slot for Quartz Extreme.
Are you saying that there is no Radeon support at all?</strong><hr></blockquote>
No, I'm saying that, contrary to reports that all Radeons are unsupported, only PCI Radeons are unsupported.
So it's a dumb bug instead of a really dumb bug.

OS X should be able to tell when you've installed a compatible video card, and turn QE on automatically.
Well, I'm sitting out of the Jag party until this gets resolved. I had enough deconstructing my computer when I originally installed OSX&PB. I think I'll wait until this gets straightened out, then buy it (hopefully the retail CDs will have 10.2.1 soo and this will fix it).
Have any of you seen this discussed on-line anywhere?

It's still a dumb bug, but not nearly as dumb as failing to support the Radeon altogether.

Either way, sounds like I'm screwed until they fix this. I have a Beige G(4) w/a PCI Radeon...which is working fine in 10.1.5.
The reports seem to show that this only affects the PCI Radeon cards.
I suspect this is just a driver problem and will be fixed with a 10.2.x update.

<strong>Umm perhaps because a requirement for QE is AGP?</strong><hr></blockquote>No, no, no, no.
AGP is required for Quartz Extreme, but NOT for Jaguar. Mac OS X 10.2 works fine on older AGP cards and PCI cards that don't support Quartz Extreme.
This Radeon seems to be an odd case.
The Rage 128 is not supported by QE. Looks like its finally time to upgrade my video card.

If only it was that easy for XFree86's Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) and PCI Radeons (possible but undocumented and requries kernel hacking).
