TiBook install problems: XFree and time

I've installed a downloaded version of YDL 2.1 on a G4 Powerbook 550 MHz
(Radeon). I got a lot further with YDL than with Mandrake, Debian and SuSE
(I'm posting from it) but still have two major problems, neither of which I
could solve through Usenet and IRC.

1) I can get 1152x768 to work in 8 or 16 bit color, but the colors are
inverted. None of the tweaks and configs suggested on Usenet made a
difference. Using 24 bit color, X crashes. My XF86Config-4 file is attached
below.

2) Is there a way to get yaboot/OF to stop resetting the clock on every boot?
Oddly, there was nothing I could find on this on Usenet.

Also, is there a way to get middle-button chording to work with my 2 button
USB mouse?

I'd greatly appreciate any assistance anyone could offer. Thanks!!
