Hello,

Before I go out and blow a whole US$ 18 on some VRAM SIMMs
for my trusty Quadra 700, I thought to check whether X was
likely to work (I'm thinking of using it basically as an X
terminal).

  http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/machine-status/

    ...suggests that it would only work in 1-bit monochrome,
but...

                   ...hints at a more colourful possibility.

Has anyone successfully used X in colour on the Quadra 700's
internal video or via a NuBus card?
