- I'm running a 3FGx at 832 x 624 from Quadra onboard video with no color
- problems. This monitor should not have a problem with this resolution and
- scan rate. It is much more likely that the video card and/or some
- related software will cause color palette problems. NEC's own
- DPI-on-the-fly software for the Quadras shows that 832 x 624 is a
- supported resolution for the 3FGx, so I suspect your problem is elsewhere.
- Try booting with no INITs and see if the Finder comes up in the correct
- colors. (You may also want to check your cabling, although I doubt this
- is the problem.)

- I've found the 5FG works fine at 1024 x 768 and 1152 x 870 (Apple's 2-page
- resolution), also - although most things are a bit tiny at the 2-page
- resolution. :-)
