 I generally run everything at the highest resolution possible, to get

 screenshots for Phil in MacOS, and backed down the resolution on the iMac
 to 800x600, and left it that way when I shut down.  Today when I went ot
 do an install, the graphical install had the weird half-overlap effect
 some folks have described.  It was usable, until I got to partitioning,
 and then I got too worried trying to select my /boot that I was indeed
 getting the right partition.  I tried various video= options, with no
 improvement, before I remembered making that change in MacOS a couple of
 days ago.  I went back to MacOS and put it back to 1024x768, rebooted
 into
 the installer and things were fine again.

Did someone try to switch fbmode with fbset directly in VT7 without 
restarting X ? I did with XPmac, and if I remember, the screen is then 
very strange.
