HP w17e

The HP w17e is a 1440x900 native resolution, 17” monitor that I got recently as a replacement for my ailing console.

I eventually had to fiddle around with display overrides to get the G4 to use the native resolution (which it can’t figure out on its own), and the resulting .plist (dumped below) needs to be placed at:

/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-756e6b6e/DisplayProductID-717

Under on an Intel mini, it all seemed to just work, although I did use the Migration Wizard… Your mileage may vary.
