In the Preferences menu- I think- there is a selection box about what method to use to draw the screens. If I remember correctly, you have to set option so it does *not* bypass Quickdraw. It is set to do this as a default. In order to get to this option box, remove 32bit Quickdraw, etc and boot the SE/30 off the 9"BW screen. You should then be able to reset the options box, put everything else back in the system folder, and reboot back to the large color monitor. If there are problems with the details of this, I can look them up - it was a long time ago - just let me know. Paul <egapmh@ecsvax>
