Im really new to Linux (Love it so far) and I have installed in on my Mac mini. Everything works great, but I can not get audio to play or display anything other than 800x600 for my screen size. I know there is a patch/kernal for the audio, but I have no clue how to install it. Any thoughts/hints about installing the audio kernal or fixing the display?

Debian is the name of the distro, and KDE is the interface you are correct.

I don't know much about the mac mini, what is the video card in it do you know? open an konsole and type
lspci
scroll back through that and it should tell you - or I could go google it (i'm kinda lazy)
