We have an AST 386SX with an NEC multisync monitor that seems to randomly
switch from color to monochrome.  So far as I can tell, there doesn't seem
to be any particular pattern to what software someone was running when it
switched, but it isn't always easy to find out who was using the system
and just when it switched.  (The last person we tried to blame insisted
it was mono before he sat down to run wordperfect on the machine.)

This isn't my problem by any stretch of the imagination but I'm curious
enough to play around and try to find out what's going on (translation: I
have much more important things I don't feel like doing) and would
welcome any suggestions as to what might be happening.
