Im lost - the patch is the software driver to make OSX work across the board on all MacMini Rom Revison - Mac could make a version of OSX that only worked with one Rom Revision but whats the point of that? Or Linux that only works on one Rom Revision?

There is no specific patch the driver the one driver is writen to be compatible with all versions of the Firmware of the same card for the one card - but you could through bad programing or lack of testing or even on pupose you could write a driver that only works with one version of the graphics cards firmware.

It seems possible
113-xxxxx-120 = Black Screen
113-xxxxx-116 = Garbled Screen
113-xxxxx-133 = Works

Yes Id be intrested to know if MorphOS works across all version of the Rom Revision at all resolutions
The drivers need patching ;-)
