The same thing happens to me, with a CRT monitor connected using a DVI-I->VGA adapter.

Since I didn't have a copy of 1:6.6.193-1ubuntu1 lying around, I tried downgrading to the
feisty version (1:6.6.3-2ubuntu6), and this worked as well.

I noticed that by setting the option MacModel to "ibook" or "powerbook" (there was no "macmini"
alternative listed in the manpage) I could get the server to start, but then my monitor didn't like
the signal.
