i think 800x600 is a good place to start, since it is the minimum 
resolution that g3+ machines have (early ibooks). maybe a syscons 
flag/kernel option?

i agree. it looks far better to have small text on a large screen 
(especially lcds) than to have the text stretched (interpolated on 
lcds).

i think 800x600 works. is it possible to have it centered in the 
screen? (excuse me if it in fact already is, i'm still wrestling with 
getting my bootloader working.)
