Is it an iMac?

I have an iMac with sid on it. At the beginning, I found I had to adjust
the screen location in OS 9/X (using the Monitors control panel) to get
the Linux display to align correctly.

The Linux video drivers for PPC just don't seem to take into account the
variety of Apple hardware.

If it's a PowerMac, you oughta be able to just adjust your monitor
settings on the monitor itself, and then re-adjust OS 9/X to the new
monitor settings.
