I believe it is set to use superpaint routines as a default. You need to set it to Quickdraw. Take out Color QD before you do this so you can access preferences, and then reinstall it once the change is done. (I found this out after a call to Silicon Beach, and it was quite a while ago, so some of the details may be fuzzy - I can reconfirm if you have problems) This works on an SE/30 w/264 board and Sony 1304 Monitor. -Paul
