Since the monitor is "built-in" it certainly has built-in video. That's
usually what it means by "built-in" ;-) Actually, built-in video applies
to any Mac that has the video circuitry on the motherboard instead of
relying on a NuBus or PDS expansion card to provide the video circuitry.
Color X is working on some machines using NuBus-based video, but it
doesn't work on any machine using "built-in" (or onboard) video.
I hope this clears it up a bit.
Later.
