Hi, I'd love any feedback or advice on this... I'm trying to install Panther on a G3 Blue and White currently running OS X 10.2.8. I've updated the firmware, run Apple Hardware Test, tried it with and without 3rd party RAM, and verified that its video card (an ATI rage 128) and its driver should be reasonably compatible with the new OS. The machine can boot just fine to any other system CD. I'm using a ViewSonic G790 CRT monitor.
However, every time I boot to Panther's first disc, the display is totally screwed - grey, low contrast, textured and nearly impossible to read. It looks a bit like 16 bit graphics on a broken Nintendo.
I can click through the first part of the installer just fine but am reticent to go all the way since I'm worried it'll look like this post-installation - I can't read it well enough to install it anyway.
Has anyone else seen this happen? Any suggestions as to what else I can try? Thanks in advance for any ideas...
