Dashboard "ripple" effect

[x86isslow]

It works for me on my iMac G4. I have an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 with 64 MB of VRAM. You can find out what GPU you have by opening System Profiler then clicking Hardware -> Graphics/Displays.

Whether or not you get the ripple effect should depend on what GPU you have in there. If yours is as powerful or more powerful than mine, you SHOULD see the ripple effect.

afaik, the 5200 that shipped with the G4 iMac was 32mb AGP 4x card. when they switched over to the G5, they upped it to 64mb AGP 8x

point being, the vram has no relevance to the effect. the 5200, in all varieties, is core-image compatible/programmable.

Not the last 17" iMac G4...that one came with a 64 MB GeForce 5200 FX (which is the one I have). The last 20" iMac G4 had one of those 64 MB GeForce 5200 FX GPUs as well.
