Hello,

Yeah. My Problem is - I don't have any mach64 hardware in a Mac so I can
only guess what's going on. I'll probably have an iMac 233MHz to play
with in the not too far future though, then things might get better.

I was going to recommend that.

So the driver apparently programs something the monitor can't display.
Odd. It works just fine on sparc64.

At least something. Can you try with more conservative settings, or
something that should match whatever your iMac comes up with?

I'm not sure your iMac can display this - I thought the early iMac
monitors maxed out at around 800x600 or so.

have fun
Michael
