4:3 console on 19:10 screen

[Super Bisquit]

Xorg is done with "Xorg -configure -retro" and you put the values in.

The Gentoo SPARC(64) FAQ section has a part on setting vid mode with
OpenBoot. OpenBoot and OpenFirmware are basically the same thing.

However, know that it is better to use Xorg -configure on a PPC machine.
