Regarding the X Server on macppc, I have my video resolution set to 1024x768
@ millions of colors when I booted the mac into open firmware and installed
NetBSD, I have since had to Zap the PRAM, but have booted the machine and
reset everything the way I wanted it, rebooted into NetBSD and still can
only manage to get 640x480 at 256 colors :/  is there a way for me to set
the resolution and color depth in OF?

Otherwise..what the heck am I doing wrong????
