Graphics Card May Not Support iMovie after 6.02 Update?

After updating (via Software Update) iMovie HD to 6.02, it now gives me a dialog box every time I launch it stating that "Your computer contains a graphics card which may not support iMovie." It has a button to "quit" or "Launch iMovie" and it seems to work just fine other than that annoyance.

I've used every version of iMovie up until now with no problems like this one. I have 2 video cards: An ATI Radeon 9200 on a second monitor and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro as my main card, both in a 933 Quicksilver Powermac.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or at least if anyone else is having the same problem? Thank you.

(Oh, by the way, iMovie HD 6 crashes a lot too, but that isn't anything new.)

QuickSilver G4 933 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Apple Support Docs Quote:
If you install an additional graphics
card that is not compatible with Quartz
Extreme in your computer (so that you
can attach another display), the features
listed above may not function correctly
in iMovie HD 6. This is true even if your
original built-in graphics card is
Quartz-Extreme compatible. The additional
card must be compatible with Quartz Extreme,
even if you will not be displaying your
iMovie project windows on the display
connected to it.


Correct me if I'm misundersatanding, but in effect, Apple's support docs about it says that if you have 2 graphics cards, you'll be getting this warning every time because no computer (so far) has more than one AGP slot? (Are there any Quartz Extreme compatible PCI cards?)
