For PPC geeks: Modeline(s) for my eMac


Hello. I've tried about five or six different distros, they're all nice, but not a single one could detect my eMac's monitor's tech specs. I recently installed Fedora Core 3 for PPC, and it's my favorite distro so far. I've done so much googling you wouldn't believe it, but alas, I couldn't find any info about my eMac's monitor that was useful, except for the horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates. If anyone can give me (an) X.org modeline(s) for my eMac's monitor, it would be great. I would appreciate having a working X server.

The apple support site tells the spec's for the eMac which you can enter manually for the Xorg config.

Here's an online modeline generator. Whether or not it would be suitable for Apple is not something I know since I don't use Apple, but presumably the hardware specs are independent of the manufacturer. Good luck with it -- J.W.
