Hi,
I bought a FireGL X3 because every ppc website/forum claims its compatible with mac after a proper bios reflash. Unfortunatly flashing doesn't work well for me...
Pin 3 and Pin 11 are disabled.
its a HP brand card with deviceid 4A 4D, just like this one http://themacelite.wikidot.com/fireglx3
What did I tried already:
- FireGL X3 reduced bios -> result: Graphicellerator in Safe Mode(Tiger and Leopard) doesn't allow to flash, because file size is a little bit to big, getting [ERROR programming Devices: Slot-SLOT-1:R420] afterwards. | PC with DOS and atiflash can flash this bios, but strings are empty (May reduced roms have no version strings)
- X800XT reduced bios -> result: Graphicellerator in Safe Mode(Tiger and Leopard) does allow to flash but getting error: [ERROR programming Devices: Slot-SLOT-1:R420] (Picture is below). | PC with DOS and atiflash can flash this bios, but strings are empty (May reduced roms have no version strings)
- Couple of PRAM resets...
- Flashing stock bios still works just fine via PC...
Both Bios give me black screens on my G4 DP MDD. VGA and DVI... Card getting recognized in System Overview, but only small info like deviceID is shown.
Can someone please help me get this card running? Would be awesome
