I don't think that there is a good way on a Q700, especially since it
won't do 16-bit color :-(

My version of the color LKM doesn't handle multiple monitors all that well
(or at least I really doubt that it would).  I made a rather gross hack to
get the bus_space stuff to work with Taras' code that will not scale up to
more than one monitor easily.  Now, of course, that shouldn't affect a
setup with the internal video....

On the other hand, the OSFA X server has a number of useful options which
might help you here....I think that you can specify which monitor gets
which color depth.  Take a look at the README for the server.

You might also try switching which monitor is the "main" monitor via the
Monitors control panel under MacOS.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
