Re: X config on a G3 iMac

[Terry Shannon <tgs154-em@yahoo.com>]

I had to do the following to get my iMac working in more than 640x480.
I left all of the resolution selections unselected, and I set the  
depth to 16.
My iMac is the original iMac 233 Bondi Blue with an ATI Mach 64.
I also entered the BusID as decimal; i.e 12 was converted to 18 and
entered as pci:0:18:0
