monitor resolution is unbearable

[Chris Alden]

The following message was posted to this list a while
ago, unfortunately no response was ever given to the
sender.  The reason I bring this up is that I am
having the EXACT same problem on the same model imac
mentioned in both the YDL and Mandrake distros.  I
have tried using fbset, but the monitor just blacks
out completely.  It is extremely straining on the
eyes.  the message read:

Hi all,

I'm completely new to this list, very new to
YellowDog, and somewhat new to 
Linux (have been running RH Linux on a Thinkpad for a
few months now). I've 
recently completed a YellowDog install on my rev A,
233 iMac and am having a 
problem with X, specifically:

I can't seem to run the monitor at its best 800x600
resolution. I 
can start X without any problems at 1024x768, but the
monitor is pretty hard 
on the eyes at that resolution. When I run x-config
and select iMac monitor 
at 800x600, the monitor either blacks out when x
starts, or the I get a 
1024x768 screen.

Any ideas....?

fire. :)   Thanks.
