MOL 0.9.68 with YDL 3.0 on a 17" iMac iLamp using OSX 10.2.6

[Wesley Bear]

Can you change the bitdepth and resolution afterwards?  Also, if you want it 
to start up in a particular depth and res, the only way I have been able to 
do so was use console/framebuffer mode and "force" a display res and 
bitdepth by only specifying what I wanted in molvconfig.  This works well 
for me since I have an LCD (I just run native res), so I told it I only 
wanted 1024x768x32 at 60hz and it always starts with this now.  The only 
drawback is I really can't change the resolution anymore.  This isn't a 
problem for me, but it might be for you.  Maybe somebody else has a better 
idea, but if this one is suitable to use, I recommend it as it seems to work 
well.
