One possible problem is that many Apple monitors only work at a fixed horizontal frequency - the Apple Studio 17 monitor (with the transparent case) that I use with my G4 cube is like that, it will only operate at horizontal scan rates between 79 and 82 kHz. If the kernel video driver chooses a video mode with a scan rate outside that range the screen goes black. So I have to put video=aty128fb:vmode:20 on the kernel command line to avoid that. (It would be nice if the kernel driver did DDC but it doesn't.) Other than that, you might get more useful suggestions if you ask on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
