I am using xboard 2.1 pl11 (GNUChess 4.0 pl62) on a monochrome Sun ELC
and am having problems getting the black & white pieces correct.  When
a white piece is on  a white square the piece  turns black, and when a
black  piece  is on  a   black square  the  piece  turns  white.  It's
impossible to tell from the board which are white pieces and which are
black pieces.  (   I run the  same  binaries on  a  color  machine and
everything is just fine. )

I  have tried starting with  the command line:  "xboard -mono True" as
well as setting  the outline bitmaps.  When  I set the bitmaps  to the
outline bitmap all the pieces (both white & black) are black.

Are there any settings that I can put into the .Xdefaults file or on
the command line to get xboard to run properly ???
