Worth mentioning, though, I'm using BootX, so it gets configured, at least
to some degree, by MacOS.

You can probably at least assume that you'll be able to use it
unaccelerated at its native resolution via offb.

I have been loosely following the discussion about the new updated Sawtooth
mainboards and noticed that several people seem to be unable to use BootX on
those new machines.

Now I must assume that a Cinema Display won't 'voluntarily' work under Linux.

Basically, the accellerated aty128 drivers don't recognize the digital
output. (I had this problem with a 15" digital flat panel).

I've heard that it may work with offb, but one is limited to whatever
resoultion OF happens to use.
