the 8F1111A install w. Jas 4.2b patch worked beautifully

 

 

 

- booting to OSX nice and snappy, system response under OSX shows no difference compared to my G5 DP2GHz (2003)

 

- dual booting between XP x64 and OSX works fine using PM8 floppies to go back to XP from OSX

 

- addition of 10.4.4 ATI drivers didn't do much for me, system profiler still shows VGA-Compatible Controller with 'No Kext Loaded', Core Image and Quartz Extreme as 'Not Supported'

 

- system profiler shows ADP2,1 for machine model, but only recognizes 1 CPU

 

- can't change resolutions or refresh rate from 1024x768, and the screen is mirrored on the 2nd DVI port

 

- built-in Ethernet recognized, but can't be configured in System Preferences

 

This would be a completely awesome and usable OSX workstation if I could solve the following (and I realize this may well be wishful thinking for quite some time):

 

- multiple graphic display resolution with configurable refresh for each video channel

- working, configurable networking

- utilize both processors (if indeed only one is currently being used)

- a way to boot back from OSX to XP (arconis didn't do it for me - it wiped OSX partition completely twice so I dropped it and am setting the XP partition active thru PM8 floppies)

 

Would appreciate if anyone can suggest some improvement steps. But of course even this is a huge thing to have - kudos to Maxxuss and Jas and all of you guys working hard to have made this possible.
