    Ah, I thought you were using a VGA monitor with a DB15->HD15 adapter
with no dip switches. *checks closet* I had at one time a Mac Liberty
DB15M->DB15F (Mac-Mac) Monitor adapter with selectable frequencies. I can't
for the life of me remember where the heck I put it. I'm not sure if it
would help anyway.

    I was under the impression that LinuxPPC uses whatever mode you were in
MacOS at, unless you pass a resolution number flag to the kernel with the
boot arguments in BootX. Mr. Williams response was far more in depth, Linux
likely has a driver for chaos as well. Out of curiosity, what in the world
is planB? :)
