I purchased a near mint condition Apple ATI X1900 XT 512mb Mac Pro card and I'm trying to force a Apple OEM X1900 PPC rom onto it.
I've gotten the card to take the rom but when I try and use it the display is blank.
Other than that it works though, I'm able to remote into the system through VNC and run apps and even 3d applications so I know it's working, it just won't output anything to my monitor.
The drivers display the EDID of the 1080p samsung monitor I'm using, and the G5 works fine if I use it with my Nvidia 6600.
I've also tried the hacked x1950 xt rom with the same results.
Has anyone else tried this mod before?
Also this is the first time I've ever really used a Mac OSX computer so some of the terminology will be lost on me. I have modded a lot of ATI cards in the past, mostly for overclocking and I've also flashed the rom on my ATI 7000pci for my G3 about 3 years ago, but that was on Win7 and OS9.
