SHERUB2001@YAHOO.COM  Something tells me from LOTS of experience (of screwing around with my computer needlessly) that if your Mac works fine BEFORE you install firmware/software, you probably don't need it in the first place.

This won't "over-clock" your video card so why take the risk of having something horrible happen to your Mac.

Leave it alone!!!

ANONYMOUS  It's a prefpane that open up an external application. Dunno why ATI hasn't rolled it up as single thing - same goes for Remote Wonder too.

ANONYMOUS  This software is ONLY requried if you use any of the special features built into the card, like display rotation, or certain game enhancements. Otherwise, the ATI cards run perfectly fine without this. The ATI Universal ROM update, which is a separate download, is all that is really needed.

DPG4450GUY  Uh,no - your own lack of pre-update maintenance did that.

Always repair permissions and run either the Disk Utility Repair of a third-party product like DiskWarrior against your drive prior to installing applications - ESPECIALLY ones that write to the kernal.

JOELSCHMIDT2  um no. lack of pre-update maintenance is not always to blame. I never run permissions repair or anything else like that and have never had a problem.

I'm thinking he forgot to plug in his airport card instead.

ANONYMOUS  On the download page for mac (latest version is 4.5.6 BTW), a click on the dmg file redirects you to "http://support.ati.com/ics/support/DLRedirect.asp?fileIDExt=9f3d342d38e036a9137ef3e270d9d79c&accountID=737&deptID=894", which if on Safari creates an endless popup loop, and on Firefox creates a page that keeps reloading itself with javascript errors.

In other words, you can't download the file until ATI gets their ass together and fixes the download page.

SOLMAN  Version 4.5.6 on 1.25GHz PB G4 w/ 10.3.9

I had no problems downloading, installing, or opening/running it.

However, I only get "info" and "3D" tools. I don't get "Advanced", "Multimedia", Mac2TV or any other menu items.

As far as I can tell I'm not getting the "Advanced" options because I'm using the built-in OEM Mobility Radeon 9600.

Anyone else able to shed some light on this?

or whether ATI Displays 4.5.6 gives VersaVision for Panther (10.3.9)? I'm trying to rotate a Dell 2100FP to portrait...

thx

ANONYMOUS  Tried everything possible to input a trouble ticket. All 4 browsers on my Mac, IE on a Windows machine. Can't choose the "manufacturer" pull down. Can't submit a trouble ticket without this. No way to get through to support. REALLY FRUSTRATING. These guys obviously don't care about their customers.

Black screen of death:

Here is my problem. installed the card, installed the software on the CD, everything was fine. Installed the latest firmware for the card, everything was fine. Installed the latest Radeon software, system wouldn't boot. Get the black screen of death after reboot. Will only boot in safe mode. Tried repairing permissions, etc. Still won't boot. I backed everything out. They loaded the software from CD again. Everything fine. I would like to load the latest Radeon software update, but I need advice about how to avoid the screen of death.

JUSTWORKS  Works as advertised on my 15" G4 PowerBook running OS 10.4.2.

Repaired permissions before and after the installation, I was amazed that the ATI Displays installer did not even mess up permissions. Looks like they got this update done right.
