I just installed openSUSE 11.0 on a G3 iMac (Blue). No problem with installation (pritty GUI , Running the system in text mode (e.g runlevel 3) screen is perfect and system is operating as expected. However in GUI mode (e.g. runlevel 5) the screen is not syncing (hard to explain but it’s “running” horizontal).
I’ve tried Sax2 but it gives the same problem.
From my point of view it’s quitte wired … because during install I had the nice looking GUI

You can ‘revert’ to the Xorg settings used by the installer by copying the
xorg.conf.install file to xorg.conf.
Then either restart the system, or press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE twice to force X
to restart… hey! how DO you CTRL-ALT-anything on a mac keyboard? uh…
ALT-OPTION-? Well, you’ll figure it out I imagine.
This should restore your screen to a workable state.
Note that we saved the (faulty) original version too, so it could be
inspected if desired.
If at any point in your tinkering the X screen garbles again, then simply
copy the xorg.conf.install file to xorg.conf again. (which is why we always copy, never move {Grin} )
