Wow, I'm up and running on my Pentium 4 using the Voodoo kernel... awesome! I am having video card issues, however. The only resolution is 1280x1024, and scrolling in Safari is messed up. Is there anything I can do about that? I have the correct card selected in the driver list or whatever that is called in the UInstaller.
How did you go about installing the Voodoo kernel?
mosslack mentioned a few pages back that his 8400GS was having problems in 10.5.7 - just for fun, try installing only up to 10.5.6, then install the Voodoo kernel & 8400GS driver, but don't update to 10.5.7 - see if that works. The 8400GS may be broken under 10.5.7...
For me this issue turned out to be related to the refresh rate, not the card itself. For some reason, 10.5.7 won't allow anything but a 60 Hz refresh rate with my Acer X223W monitor. It worked fine @ 75 Hz on 10.5.6. I don't know if this applies in his situation, but I thought I would mention it just in case. :light:
Edit: FYI, I have switched back to the eVGA 8400 GS on my UD3P and it is working fine in 10.5.7. The only issue I have, other than no other refresh rates to choose from besides 60 Hz, is that when I switch resolutions, the screen goes blue and I have to hit the reset button and restart the computer. Once it comes back up it is at the new resolution and things appear to be fine. FWIW, I never switched to the 8400 GS string in the Uinstaller either, I'm still using the one I installed with for the 7200 GS.
