If you dont want to read this, just tell what graphic card you have that is working good with aja lhe.
Please tell me about your good working mac configuraions. Im particle interested in the graphic card.
Background story:
I bought the 8core on release back in 2007. Everything worked great until I installed leopard. With every Aja update i still get the
"Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card" error.
So what graphic cards is working with aja kona lhe and leopard 10.5 or 10.6? Im so tired of my messed up workflow (i have to reboot everytime i want to use the aja with shake or final cut). And with aja 6.0 it works with reboot, but 6.2 freezes the mac pro on startup. Today i updated leopard from 10.5 to 10.6 and i tried to switch on the desktop feature to se if it had solved any problems. My luck again, i got the bluescreen of death (it freeze on startup). So Im going back to the timemachine backup i just did before the update right now.

First, when you installed Leopard did you do a simple archive and install or did you start over form scratch? Starting over from scratch is the only way to be sure that you get a clean install.
Second, Are you trying to use the mac desktop feature of the Kona for Shake?
Third, are you sure your LHe is in the right place in your computer by follwing the instructions for pre2008?:

First i did just update from the leopard dvd but then when the mac freezed the first time i did an clean install.
Yes im trying to use the mac desktop feature of the Kona for Shake?
I did place the aja card as instructed on the day i bought the mac which was just when they released the 8core 2007.
slot 1 i have the graphic card, 2 is empty, 3 is kona and 4 is an serial ata card from caldigit (it's for a raid).
Thanks I will try to change the output of my graphic card tho the other slot and se if that helps.

[Joel Arvidsson]". Everything worked great until I installed leopard. With every Aja update i still get the "Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card" error. "
first - update- this is not an issue with the current OS / QT versions.
if you cannot update the software,
switch the port on your graphics cards that the computer monitor is connected to. It was a issue in QT regarding addressing when there was video playback with more than one card installed in the machine.
