[ydl-gen] G5 dual, 2.7 GHz 20" Cinema Display

[Wolfgang Freysinger Innsbruck Medical U]

Hi there everyone!
We have quite nice machine (G5 dual, 8 GB RAM, 20" Cinema display, 
graphics card that should be supported by YDL 4.1) that we (plan to) use 
for some "large-size" image processing tasks (image stacks of some GB). 
Unfortunatley, there is no 3D-acceleration support, let alone can we use 
the display. Just blurred.
After some long period of fiddling, we still cannot use the display and 
come to the following conclusion:

The X-windows configuration should be read from /etc/X11/Xorg.conf 
Actually, it seems to read from somewhere else:
the settings of the Xorg.conf and those of the GUI tool (right mouse 
click on the desktop, e.g.) do not read equeal.
The GUI-config tools do not show an item like 20" Cinema Display.

We were able to get something like a readable display. However, the 
problem seems to be the frequency, most likely the horizontal "frequeny"
of the display. We still have to run the machine on the second monitor 
of the dual display. A pity.

Did someone get a system like ours ever to work properly?
We tried all YDL suggested an more, no success.
Does anyone have a clue?
We have run out of ideas.
Thanks
