Thanks John, i *fluked* upon a similar thing i think. Its currently up and running at 640*480, I'll see if i can up it a bit when i change the Mac OS res. I have also gone through the two days of installation meddling (hmmm; lets try any flavour of linux that'll run on PPC). But as of 2:30am it was kind of working. So my after-work project is finally on its way to being completed.
