Anyway, UUX 2.0.b3 will allow you to set the input and output settings for Open Firmware. When you boot into X press command-option-o-f and you will get the OF prompt. At the prompt type: dev pci1 <return> dev (name of your card reported in Apple System Profiler.) <return> " (name of your card reported in Apple System Profiler.)" <return> model <return> boot <return> Note on line 3, the space between the open quote and the first letter of the name of your card, it's not a typo, it has to be there. For example, my configuration is: dev pci1 <return> dev ATY,RADEONp <return> " ATY,RADEONp" <return> model <return> boot <return> You have to do this on every boot at the moment but the author of UUX is working on a way to fix this.
