Well, thanks for the technical discussion! ;-) Unfortunately this doesn't
answer the question: how do we get a 266 Mhz iMac to properly run X?
I don't know where to put the video modes that were mentioned, for one thing,
since they don't seem to be in the XF86Config-4 file any more. Is there a
valid config file that any has that works? I've looked through the archive
for the two years or so and I haven't found anything that works...
Thanks for the help!
