andy Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I was just setting up an old G4 450 system for someone. It has the original Rage 128 video card and 10.4.3 installed. Core Image and QE are not supported, but all the video features like DVD playback, changing resolutions/refresh rate/color depth and full screen Itunes visualizations work. Why do these features work on a PPC mac without QE, but even with QE they don't work on an Intel mac? I assumed QE and the lack of these features were related, but they apparently aren't. Do we have to wait for the release version, or might they never work? If they never work, this will be a serious blow to using X on a generic machine. It would certainly make it unusable for me.

On my 915GL, I have QE, and DVD playback, chagning resolutions, refresh, color depth all work fine for me. I don't use iTunes, so I don't know if visualizations in those work or not. regards, -e Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6165-confused-about-mac-video/#findComment-38680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

oni Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 CI requires a recent graphics card in order to work, and QE requires an AGP card and 32 MB of RAM if i remember correctly which im not sure that that machine has.
