It seems that I should not have this problem because the resolution is set
to 832xsomething under MacOS.
Today I exchanged my AppleVision display (which is connected to the
ADB) with an Eizo 17" display to be sure that this is not the reason why
it doesn't work. Unfortunatly the resolution under NetBSD is still 640x480
also when I use an monitor adapter which tells the Mac that there is a
fixed frequency monitor with 1024x768 at 74,9kHz.
I have to set the output device to "/chaos/control" instead of
"screen". Could that be the reason? Has anybody successfully changed the
screen resolution of a PMac 7600?
