Hmm.. I can't remember when the problem started, but I've been using X on my iMac 350 ever since OS X PB. I'm sure I would have updated the firmware had I known that there was a newer version, and usually I see stuff like that on versiontracker. But maybe I missed it...

No, oddly I didn't think of that, however I took the thing into a TV repair shop and the guy said he power supply is dead which is why the monitor ain't working. So he's ordering another power supply from apple at a whopping $70. We'll see if that'll fix it. I know power supplies tend to burn out on cheap machines like eMachines, and iMacs are relatively low-end (at least this one was) for Apple. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
