Dear Mike, Concerning issue 1, check your boot parameters. in yaboot, I have append="vga=792" which ups the resolution for console mode considerably. a full table of the boot VESA modes can be found at http://www.flexion.org/site/index.php?gadget=StaticPage&action=Page&id=31 Concerning issue 2, i couldn't begin to say. Perhaps others will chime in.

I finally dist-upgraded my PPC Mac Mini to etch as recommended by the etch release notes, and there are two monitor-related changes: 1) I only run in console mode, and never start X. In console mode, it used to be the normal 25x80 character display, but it now uses a much higher density display with more rows and columns shown. This isn't a problem. 2) The screen doesn't sleep like it used to. I use an LCD display, and while the screen blanks, the sidelight doesn't turn off (and can be seen to bleed through in a darkened room). This is my main concern, as it will decrease the life of the LCD sidelight. What caused these changes, and what configuration file should I modify to revert/change them? dpkg shows I have some x11 packages installed, as the php-gd package depends on them: ii libice6 1.0.1-2 ii libsm6 1.0.1-3 ii libx11-6 1.0.3-7 ii libx11-data 1.0.3-7 ii libxau6 1.0.1-2 ii libxdmcp6 1.0.1-2 ii libxext6 1.0.1-2 ii libxpm4 3.5.5-2 ii x11-common 7.1.0-19 ii xlibs-data 7.1.0-19 However there's no xorg.conf or anything relevant that I can see in /etc or /etc/X11. And anyway, this is supposed to just be a standard console, not X. Thanks! --Mike
