Actually, this isn't correct. All you have to do to remove bootx from
your system is a) remove the file called '* BootX Extension' (where '*' is
a black dot) from the System Folder:Extensions folder and remove the file
called 'BootX App' from the System Folder:Control Panels folder.
As for the video settings, on my Wallstreet, all I did was click on the
options button (in the BootX window) and selected the 'Force Video
Settings' options so that it was checked. Everything worked rather well
after that although, X was slower than it should be, which was another
thread on this list. Instead of fixing that, I simply bought an iBook2.

Cheers,
