Does that mean the mode/depth set by OF, or the one set by the vmode
kernel cmdline option?

Ok.

Is it possible to use xmon on a G4 (350MHz AGP) without one of these
stealth serial ports?  I don't currently do enough kernel debugging to
really make it worth getting one along with the necessary cables to
plug something into it.

I'm currently running 2.4.1pre7 rsynced from the bk tree.

Cheers,
