| Need drivers for Geforce 4 MX Mac edition |
Posted by: returningmacuser on 2010-08-27 13:04:11
I just got my Sawtooth G4 back from the shop with a new graphics card. I can't exactly tell what it's supposed to be, but it looks like a Geforce 4 MX. I don't have a digital camera, so I can't take pictures of the card, unfortunately.
Anyway, I turned my computer back on, and I've lost 3D acceleration, resolutions above 640x480, and even sleep mode! I can only think of this being due to a total lack of compatible drivers for my computer. And the card didn't even come with a driver disc. So I need drivers.
I'm using Mac OS 9.2.1, by the way.

a) Did you send it in to have the gfx card replaced or did it go in for something else and come back with a new card? Did they not test the card after installing it? That is very unprofessional.
B) List any strings of characters printed on the card, or better yet, slap em into google and see what comes up. (without a digi camera you either use another computer or write them down on paper)
c) Open Apple System Profiler and see what it says.
These are incredibly basic steps that pretty much anyone can manage. Please let us know what you can find.

I looked at the system profiler, and the card appears to be a Geforce 2 MX.
The shop I took my computer was an Apple Authorized shop, by the way.
Anyway, the drivers worked. But now the control strip is in that funky position. How do you movie it back down again?
