Ok, got no answer but I'm assuming the card I have is 4MX. Here is the 
problem:

The card was pulled from dual gig Quicksilver and was used with 22" 
cinema display. It was working fine when we pulled it out. Then it was 
lying in my desk for a couple of months. Just yesterday I realized it 
is not 2MX card and will not fit in my Cube.
Lucky as I am, a friend agreed to give me his Radeon 7500 in exchange 
for this card. He's got a Quicksilver 733. However, I have spent most 
of the afternoon trying to make the card work on his machine. When 
powering up, two things would happen: either the card would send signal 
to the monitor (black screen though) and machine would not boot. The 
other thing would be that the monitor wakes up for a second and then 
goes dead, but the machine boots up with no video.
I remember reading about that you need to upgrade to latest firmware 
and to reset the main board. I have tried resetting the logic board but 
that did not help. The machine has firmware 4.33f1, and there does not 
seem to be any kind of firmware update for Quicksilvers. One of these 
days I will try it in different machine, but I doubt that the card is 
broken.
Any ideas? I need that radeon :))))
