G4 Video Help

Submitted by protocol6v on August 30, 2006 - 1:29am. PowerPC Macs

Today, I rebooted my Backup server, and all of the sudden it wouldn't recognize my display as a samsung syncmaster 914v. it was working perfectly before the reboot and now it just won't recognize my display or pick out the natize res for the display. I have a Hacked GeForce FX5200 64MB, and a Gigabit G4 motherboard. I have tried reseting P-RAM, NV-RAM, and CUDA, but nothing helped. Also tried reseating EVERYTHING. I tried removing every other PCI card in there, witch there is only an ATTO Express PCI PSC, removing RAM and trying other RAM, tested the P-RAM battery to have around 3.4v, tried everything from what i have named to simple things like "Detect Displays". I need to get this back up and running by tomorrow at latest so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
