No, I had fbdev commented out because something else I read suggested trying that. The real answer came from some further searching which uprooted this post: http://tastytronic.net/pipermail/ufo/2003-January/001670.html which reported that the iMac Rev. B monitor REQUIRES very specific refresh rates. I changed the Monitor section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as follows: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" HorizSync 60 VertRefresh 75-117 Option "DPMS" EndSection I previously had different horizontal and vertical rates that seem to have been the problem. That post says to use 60 and 75-117, which work great. Also the 800x600 at a depth of 16 look pretty good to me. I'm surprised by that. However, now I'm experiencing intermittent problems with the USB keyboard and USB mouse. Sometimes the keyboard is totally nonresponsive and sometimes the mouse button is totally nonresponsive. The cursor always moves when I move the mouse though, and it is daisy-chained into the keyboard's USB port, so that seems to rule out physical connection problems. Weird.
