Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware>overclocking (more info?)

Hello. I currently have a mac with an ATI pci video card. The card
was overclocked before I got the computer when it ran Mac OS 9. Since
then I have put Linux on the computer and due to the card being
overclocked I have been unable to get X to work in Linux. I am hoping
to underclock it back to normal for X to work. Unfortunately every
guide I find on over/underclocking involves using software programs
made for Windows to change the clock speed. Obviously I cannot use
Windows software on this computer. Does anyone know how I would
underclock the video card or could link me to any good guides on how to
do it?

Oh, didn't know that was possible. I assumed that it just made the
driver "think" that the card had a different clock speed. So if I were
to put the card in my Windows comp I would be able to change the clock
speed and have it be that way when I put it back in my mac?
