"a nice little extention"?  Why don't you use "Monitor" control panel?
You don't have to get it from somewhere; it comes with MacOS.  I'm not
accusing you of not using "Monitor" control panel, rather, I'm just
curious about your MacOS configuration.  I'm wondering whether or not
your "nice little extention" really sets the color depth to 1.  I know
"Monitor" control panel does.  What else extentions do you have?
Although I always load about a dozen of extentions/drivers yet never
had a problem with them.

Also, it might be helpful to show people the line(s) with which kernel
tells you what kind of video device(s) it has detected during the
boot.  Mine looks like this:

grf0 at nubus0: 640 x 480 monochrome QD-compatible (Micron XCEED SE/306-48) display
grf1 at nubus0: 512 x 342 monochrome QD-compatible (Macintosh SE/30 Internal Video) display

What's yours like?

I didn't know IIsi could drive 1152x870 even if it was B&W...
