i think to had said a beastiality!!! (pardon moi) all monitor implements something called preset(s) and recall the same parameter for each video mode.... but.... i rebooted from mac os9 in 1024x768 and open firmware entered in 1024x768 mode.... so i try to reboot from mos os 9 in 640x480 and open firmware entered in 640x480!!! i believe that the smartest way to make this is to save the video mode in nvram... for the video setting i have some doubt :( t64
