Maybe try an older version or be sure to do it the way this person describes:
ATI x1900 flash macAh yes, many thanks! The version mentioned in the thread is
AMD/ATI ATIFlash 3.79. And this one works out of a FreeDOS USB stick!
The good:
OpenFirmware works, the cards fan control works, colors are ok, everything fine!
The card repots itself now as X1950XTX with 128 MiB RAM.
The bad:The flashed card does not work under Linux.
The OpenFirmware console works, but the mayor flaw is the fan control not working under Linux leaving the fans running at 100% which is
loud. Compareable to the sort of loud you get when the G5s fans itself hit 100%...
Guess I have to go the 2 cards way as I want to use Linux on this G5 too...
Anyone here in need of a Mac-flashed X1900XT? I have a spare one now.
