I don't know what "doesn't like" is supposed to mean in this context.
I'd expect a sync issue of some sort, but what?

The dev tree lists it as 27MHz.

I don't see how either of these cause the machine to lock up on login.
Both look like elements that I'd expect would cause the display to not
work at all.

I'm trying to ask, since macppc is now wscons, how do I get xdm to work
with that? For that matter, how to I get xdm or startx to a working
session at all, assuming the Mini falls outside the range of having it
all (wscons, xdm and startx) work under the same config?
