I recently bought a 733MHz PowerMac G4. It has 658MB RAM (soon to be upgraded to 1.5GB) and a 64MB ATI Radeon 7000 AGP video card.

Leopard installed just fine with that OF hack to make it think I had an 867MHz G4, and it runs surprisingly quickly. There is, however, one small problem I've noticed:

Tooltips in the dock just refuse to display correctly! The same problem appears when using VNC to remote into the machine. I don't remember if I had this problem when using the 32MB nVidia card that came with the machine (that card was borked, so I replaced it with this ATI one). Anyone else see this problem? I've googled around for it, but haven't come up with anything thus far,

It happens occasionally for me too. There has been a thread here previously about it but I don't recall any resolution, perhaps try quitting and re-launching the Dock to see if it helps.

That's a 2D Dock placed at bottom so may it be related to the given software you are using to do the trick?? ( trick I understand cause I love the 2D Dock albeit I have it placed at left side of screen )

I tried switching back to the 3D dock, and I have the same problem. Is there a way to disable the tooltip background entirely?

It might well be for shifuimam, but I have never hacked my Dock so it isn't the cause for me.
