| 6100 with Sonnet Card and Powertoggle |
Posted by: Mr. 680x0 on 2009-07-07 12:18:33
The Powertoggle works with a normal slot adapter and AV video card, but not with my Sonnet upgrade card and the same video card. It chimes fine with the Sonnet card, but I get no video. Any ideas on what I can do about this? Do I HAVE to have a PRAM battery to use the Sonnet upgrade?

What is a Powertoggle?

What is a Powertoggle? When you turn it on, wait for it to chime, and quickly shut it off and back on. It bypasses the need for a PRAM battery to be able to display video in certain models.

Ah right. The capital letter and single word made me think it was an actual product of some kind.
Do you have the Sonnet driver loaded?

Do you have the Sonnet driver loaded? No, I do not. I have a 7100 with a Sonnet card and a video card hooked to it and it boots up fine, it just can't use the acceleration. And that's with no driver.

Are you driving the monitor from the card or from the onboard video?

From the card. It works on a 7100 with a different Sonnet card and no drivers, but not on the 6100.
