Here's the rub:
I have a G4 Quicksilver 733Mhz with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT (pins 3 and 8 have been taped.)
I recently bought a 15" Studio Display from a fellow MR member to go with this machine, as I love the design and don't need a large monitor on it.
Of course, the Studio Display is an ADC monitor, which I didn't think was an issue since my ATI card has an ADC connector. However, upon connecting it and firing up the Quicksilver, I got nothing. Upon further inspection it occurred to me that the ATI card doesn't have the additional pins to go in the power slot that's in "front" of the AGP card slot.
Since the display gets it's juice via the ADC connector, and the ATI card doesn't appear to have the provision for power via ADC, am I screwed, and/or relegated to using the stock 32M NVIDIA card that came with the Quicksilver?
Is there a hack I can make to provide power to the display using the ATI card? I really don't want to lose the additional graphics memory if I can help it..
Thanks in advance for the help,
MacDann
