Reveeen Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 At the left top of your screen there is a apple, clicking on this apple opens a menu, after you select "about this mac" a small info box opens, selecting "more info" in this box, opens a bigger display of "stuff", under hardware, selecting "graphics/displays" the right pane should fill with details about your video system. Things to look for: Your video card should be identified (if it's not either the driver is not installed, or installed correctly, or it is the wrong one) You should see "core image" and "quartz extreme" both supported. (if not then you have installed the wrong driver) At the end of the day: scrolling/moving/re-sizing is also a function of ram. You don't say how much ram you have, but if it is less than 1g, you are simply fooling yourself. While I have nothing bad to say about Jas 10.4.8 it is simply dated. You might want to consider 10.4.11, I did a small write-up on an install under Dell Dimension 4400. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=103250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveeen Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I am using the "NATIT Dual V02" driver for support in both on a FX5500. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=34068 While there snag the AGP driver. *remembering* Nvidia cards with 512 MB VRAM will not work.
