RustyBalls___s_Mac_Pro.zip Snow has no support for agp. Only pci-e. The only way is to trick Snow to make agp appear as pcie. Here is a topic on board for Geforce6200agp on Snow. A modified ATY_init does the trick there. Search this forum. Leopard 10.5.8 was the last with official Agp, because some PPC G4/G5 Powermacs had this built in , but no Intel Mac ever came with AGP, and therfore in Snow no support for it.
