Hey Wilton, is this during the boot process? My Umax S900 starts up with a black and white grid, a bunch of gobbledy-gook scrolls by (can't read any of it), and my screen is at 320x240, but once it finishes booting, it works fine.
As long as it boots into OS X with my millions of colors at 1024x768, I don't really mind the b&w checkerboard. --Bondster!! On Thursday, November 21, 2002, at 09:37 AM, Wilton H.
