The only resolution that works well on my ibook2 is 1024x768. Where did
you get the 800x600 info? That is the resolution of the old ibook screens.

The ydl site is not very well updated with info about what is supported and
what is not. The only problems i've had with my brand new ibook2 and ydl
2.3 is the internal modem that is not supported, and audio mixer support
that is buggy.
