woe is me... i'm kinda crap at this technical stuff.
i have an iMac for digital video running on OS9. i bought OS10.2 here in japan and just installed from the OS9 desktop - i didn't know about partitions at all until now. anyway... OSX (version 10.2) loaded up fine, monitor working ok. but then it tells me to shut down and reboot. here starteth my journey into Orange Screen Hell. i reboot, the screen is orangey and slightly bowed out to the right. i try to connect to the internet to search for answers and get told that to use my broadband connection, i must go back to os9. so i click the "reboot on os9" button. now i'm back on os9, can't find osX at all, and still have this crappy orange wonky screen. friends say its a video card problem. i have an ATY Rage128VR video card (whatever that means) and can't find anything about driver upgrades for the video card.
on my knees i beseech you, if this gibberish makes any sense, and you think you know a way out of this orange hell, please tell me. i'm not even worried about the partitions and the osX right now - i just want my screen to work again.

It's *definitely* the problem outlined in this thread.

Nothing to do with the video card. Purely a firmware issue.

I have the same problem with my monitor after installing Jaguar. I did not download the firmware because my machine will not let me boot up with OS 9 since the install of the new system, and because I did not know I needed to. So now my monitor screen is almost unreadable. What recourse with Apple do folks suggest?

thanks
