I run Mac OS 9.2.2 in MOL but I presume this advice goes for either it
or OS X: Your initial MOL settings govern what happens "inside" the
MOL window only until the Mac OS boots. So after you are "inside" OS
X, set the size and resolution to something you are comfortable with
AND is compatible with your linux X windows settings. (For example,
you will have to have the color depth the same or lower, and obviously
the monitor size should be the same or smaller than your actual
monitor.)

You can keep the OS X settings where they are and just expect to
switch to full screen when you are actively using an OS X application.
I find I switch between vt-9 (MOL) and vt-7(X-windows) a lot, partly
because with MOL in a KDE window I can't reach all the way to the
bottom and right edges, and partly because there are a few KDE
keystrokes that get intercepted before they get to the Mac process.

Be sure to report back so I know... I haven't used OS X a lot yet so I
can't tell you how to set the resolution. OS 9 has two VERY useful
control strip tools, in addition to the monitors control panel.
