Hello ! I own a performa 6400/200, and I had lots of trouble configuring
the Xserver. I'll give you my config file, and I advice you to let it as it
is, because it has been quite a horror when I tried to play with it.

So here is the file /etc/X11/XF86Config
I finally came to.
I works fine for my computer, and anyway, it is what I had
(800*600*thousands of colors) with MacOS.

Backup the file as it is now, and replace it with mine.
Try it, and if everything goes bad (like having half of your screen only
filled with ugly green stuff where you barely recognise the letters you
type in a shell), run Xautoconfig in a terminal and you should get a crappy
configuration, but clean enough to be able to get back your first one.
(and oh, beware, the autoconfig was turning my keyboard to a qwerty setting,
so if it doesn't suit you, you could have trouble to log in... I had !)

Good luck !

Noé
PS : is your sound card recognised ? Linux can't find mine :(
