You want to get on of the SBC kernels. I am using GENERICSBC-15 on my
LCIII and haven't had any problems. The kernel found in the standard
1.2 distribution did not work for me. I also had problems with the
ADB test kernels too. The SBC kernels were the only ones that worked
consistently for me in my LCIII. As far as I know, things only work
in B&W (1 bit mode). I haven't updated to the most recent SBC kernels
because I haven't had any reason to. You can find the SBC kernels at:
