At least on my Blue G3, that means that the PRAM doesn't have settings
for a saved video mode. Whatever event seperated now from "Previously"
messed up the PRAM settings.

My solution was to go in and set the monitor in MacOS.

Note: NetBSD has always used the OF video setting as we don't have
chip-specific drivers at the moment. So if the video mode changed, the OF
video mode changed. :-(

Take care,
