yep, using internal video.  there's no nubus card in the machine.  i've
tried booting with extensions off (it probably doesn't make a difference
anyway as i don't have any extensions installed).

as a side note, after taking the cover off the machine to check for
anything in particular and putting it back on, then trying to boot in
single user mode, i got all the way through the boot sequence.  i've been
unable to get it to that point again, so i might have to blow some more
dust off the ol' mother board again.  *grin*
