This is due to the fact that some programs assume a screen that has 1 bit
per pixel.  You can get most of these programs to work by setting the
screen depth to 2 colors.  For the rest, there is a shareware init/cdev
by Frank Price called ScreenMaster that claims to do what is needed.
I have never used ScreenMaster, so I don't know if or how well it works.
It should be available on Compuserve and sumex.
