I would like to get this thing to run in at least 800x600x24. A configuration for 1024x768x16 would also be nice. I have gotten to the stage where I can see a mangled X screen (ie. the kind of thing you see when you are using a bogus mode for the monitor). I have tried quite few different (stock) resolution/depth combos as well as explicitly defining some reasonable looking ModeLines taken from successful 'fbset -x' commands. The monitor (NEC XV17" CRT) works fine at all of the refresh rates, geometries and depths under OSX. (Is there a tool comparable to 'fbset -i' in OSX?) I've also tested with my 21" Apple CRT without success so I don't think the problem is monitor related.
