Hello Bruce,
Thank you for replying so quickly.
In your case, maybe the MacOS energy saver has something to do with it?
You could try to switch it off. In my case I hear the startup boing, but
the screen *remains* black. So I assume it switches to some unknown
video setting.
I first used molvconfig, and let it set the video according to the
current setting in linux. However, the file /usr/lib/mol/config/vmodes
it creates does not contain video info, where I would expect an 'fbset'
like code.
