X11 configuration

[Rick Thomas]

There are some video settings that are stored in the NVRAM.  You 
might have zapped them when you did the Open firmware reset.  To 
get them back, boot MacOS-9.2.2 and fiddle with the video settings 
til you get what you want using the appropriate control strip 
modules.  Change each setting temporarily to something other than 
it is, then change it back to what you want.  That will force the 
system to write the video parameters to NVRAM (twice, actually).

Then reboot into YDL.  You will still probably have to do some work 
on the XF86 configuration to get everything working, but this 
procedure might help and it can't hurt.

Enjoy!
