Hello to everyone Thank you very much for your replies!
OK, I booted the machine into single user mode and: 1) The graphics adapter is an ATI Rage 128. As far as I can tell, it is properly recognised. (The machine is an iMac G3 @400MHz slot loader by the way) 2) Sorry, I am not using Debian testing. 3) The HorizSync, VertRefresh business did not help at all 4) I also tried various settings from http://mac.linux.be/content/g3-imac-tray-loader-slotloader-all-versions-xorgconf but without any joy at all. 5) When I set the ModeLines for the resolutions it dies for good. I can't even get back to the command line. Upon restart the log file is full of messages from the driver that it waits for [something something] to go into idle mode. 6) Tried the VESA driver....no This is likely just a monitor / graphics adapter issue. This +hsync +vsync business brought back memories....Not good ones. Is there a lookup table indexed by the monitor type for these parameters by now?
