TOPIC
I installed v1.2 of the Display Card 24AC software, which is compatible with Power Macintosh systems, but I cannot find the acceleration options in the Monitors control panel. Is acceleration available on Power Macintosh computers?
DISCUSSION
There should be no problems using the Display Card 24AC with any Power Macintosh computer that has an available NuBus slot.
The icons which allow Power Macintosh users to activate video acceleration on the Display Card 24AC should appear in the Options section of the Monitors control panel under the following conditions:
- A Display Card 24AC is installed in the Power Macintosh, and a monitor is attached to the card.
- The "Apple Macintosh 24AC" file is in the Control Panels folder of the current System Folder. The installer for the Display Card 24AC places this file in the Control Panels folder automatically.
- The monitor that is attached to the Display Card 24AC is selected in the Monitors control panel, before the "Options" button is selected. The top left corner of the Options window should read "Apple Macintosh 24AC".
Any time the icons which allow you to activate video acceleration are not visible, video acceleration has not been activated for that monitor.
If the acceleration option is not available, verify all the conditions listed above. If you meet these conditions, then there may be a conflict with other software and you should remove perform basic system software troubleshooting procedures.
