My nightmare continues.
The Radeon 7000 was supposed to make my Mac more usable. It worked last weekend, now it doesn't do anything. Computer boots fine but the displays never turn on now. I have tried several different monitors with different cables. Why would it work and then just stop? I am too annoyed... I was fixing up my 8600 as an in-between box for fixing my SE. Too many problems here.
I decided to try zapping the PRAM, but command-option-p-r has never worked on this box. Maybe because of the Datadesk keyboard instead of Apple. So I pulled the battery and am letting it sit for some time while I develop new strategies.
Is this ATI card supposed to display at boot? What if I need to see boot errors, or use option to select a startup disk? Even when it worked the display turned on only a second before the desktop was ready to appear. This is my first experience using a 3rd party display in an old-world Mac, so far it hasn't been very good.
