Same here, except with a G4 Cube and the Apple Cinema Display. Did you get to play with poorly documented kernel parameters too? I had to add "ofonly" to install, then "video=aty128fb:vmode:22" to get tolerably fast video after the install. I still get bits of crud at the top of my screen when in X, and occasional bits of overwritten text when I do "ls" on the console. I sure do wish somebody would explain why this is necessary. I could understand it on a post-VGA PC in the years before the monitors would report back their specs, but now? On a Mac with PCI/AGP and LCD hardware sold by Apple? I'm looking for integer-scaled resolutions at all color depths, obviously with the maximum refresh rate. Odd resolutions can just be letterboxed in software; blurry video sucks. I'd like: 1600x1024 (got that) 800x512 533x341 400x256 An optional extra 64 pixels in the Y direction (hardware virtual screen space) for the taskbar wouldn't hurt, but generally it's best that the desktop resize as needed. I'd have this fixed if I had time to be an expert at everything. :-( To those of you who've picked "XFree86" as your area of expertise, please have some pity on the rest of us.
