On my G4, it doesn't work correctly, but I haven't been deep into extensive
testing...
I boot OF in 1280x960 then :
dev screen
show-modes
enable-videomode d // which is 832x624@75 or 70 Hz.
set-mode d
Then, OF change the mode, but not the screen.... so then screen becomes a
horde (a hurd ;-)) of evil pixels... (still black on white)
enable-videomode 21 // mode 21 was the current 1280x960
set-mode 21
OK, everything gets good anew (Is my sentence correct ? (i'm french))
...but I have had a MacOS crash after a 'bye' command. I'm not sure this is
for the reason of changing bideomode, but perhaps...)
