Re: configuring X for Lime iMac (have tried many things...)
I had X working on my iMac Rev B at one point. I don't actually remember what
changed on it that it went away (I think it was the upgrade from 4.0.3 to
4.1.0, actually). Meanwhile, I believe this link will help you:
www.imaclinux.net.
Good luck!
