As far as I know, color doesn't work on the IIci (of course it may just 
be that it doesn't work on my IIci with my Apple Macintosh Video Board).  
Here's what happens when I try to boot with the color kernel and X server:

1) The boot proceeds normally until it is time to initialize the grf 
device, then suddenly the screen turns black.
2) Through careful typing, I log in and start X.  At this point, it 
appears nothing is happening, still.
3) I move the mouse around and notice that the Xterm title bars are 
hiliting, so X is in fact working, but the only color I can see is light 
blue on a black background.  After experimenting for a while, I determine 
that gray65 or some such color appears to show up best against the black 
background.

So, it appears that color isn't quite up to snuff yet, at least on my 
machine.  I figured I might take a look at it at some point this summer, 
but I don't know if I'll have time.

I hope this answers your question somewhat.

Later.
