The infamous ATI issue - again.... 2004-09-02 - By Matthias Worch
Back
For what it's worth, I got XSI running on an old Mobility 9000 here
(softmodded Catalyst drivers, 4.6 or so). It works well enough, but
seems to overheat the card now and then, freezing the entire computer.
Still usable even in this state, though.
