Mediator a4k Voodoo5 driver crashing?

[Boot_WB]

On my prometheus the Voodoo5 works fine - except when I select "execute command" from the workbench menu (I assume other dialog boxes would cause the same issue, but this is the only one I've found so far).
This results in vertical lines down the left hand 1/3rd of the screen, and all text on the entire screen becomes garbled.
Works fine with the same settings using a Voodoo3, so for now I've just left the Voodoo5 out.

I'd like to figure out the correct settings though - I'm sure that it is just a P96 setting or tooltype which I need to set.

Doesn't cause any lockups or crashes though, although obviously it hasn't been on for hours at a time with such an issue!

It does sound very much like an overheating issue.

Are both fans spinning ok on the two GPUs?

May be worth ensuring the heatsik/fan combos are dust-free too, and that you get sufficient airflow through the Mirage case itself (does it have any case fans?).

If the Voodoo is right next to the mediator bridgeboard, then airflow could be a problem - IIRR there isn't much room between the bridgeboard and the first PCI slot.

Maybe try the Voodoo in the next slot along, and see if that fixes the issue?
