The original iMac (not the new LCD one) requires unusual video timings
to drive the built-in monitor. These modes are not in fb.modes on some
distributions (e.g. Debian), which prevents MOL from working in 800x600
and 640x480.
Here are the modes I use on my iMac. Could this file become part of the
standard MOL distribution? I've seen some people asking about this on
the MOL mailing lists, but I haven't seen any solution posted before.
Note: The 640x480 mode has some problems on my system -- it will only
work in 8-bit color. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
