[G4] ATI Xclaim 3D Plus

[Richard Smykla]

Zhimmy,

I had one of these too, which worked fine in 10.2.x but breaks in 
10.3, giving the 8-bit greyscale display you describe. Perhaps you 
could install the older drivers from the Jaguar install disc using 
the Pacifist utility, but you pays your money and you takes your 
chances there . . .
