Yep, it's cool!

You're right about the serial console. Many of the newer machines have
adb difficulties because Apple chooses not to document the hardware.

Yep, it's monitors settings. As I understand it, both X and dt expect the
monitor to be in 1-bit mode to work. I now have an alias of the monitors
controll pannel on my desktop so I can easily switch to/from 1-bit mode.
