TOPIC: Configure X11 for Apple Color Plus 14"



Minor re-configuration
I got yellowdog set up to run X11 on my 7600 with an Apple Color Plus 14" monitor. I used Xconfigurator several times. The outcome was the same: I got a screen that was offset by several pixels. Basically, it wrapped around the screen to the otherside. After playing with fbset between text and X11 I found out two things: 1) the screen addresses were off (along with screen size) and 2) the rgba settings where different:
               fbset-txt mode        fbset-after Xautoconfig in X11

	address    x94e00050             x94e00028
	size       2097072               2097112
	rbga       8/16, 8/8, 8/0, 8/24  5/10, 5/5, 5/0, 0/0
	

Xautoconfig4 [ENTER]
I got it to work by using Xautoconfig4. However, it had errors.
