VP/ix under 386/ix thinks console is monochrome

I'm running 386/ix 2.2 on a Micronics 486 and an Orchid Prodesigner II VGA
card with 1 MB of RAM on board.  X11 works fine in color at all resolutions
but for some reason my VP/ix thinks the system is monochrome now.

I've tried reinstalling the VP/ix and reinstalling the OS, and the problem
has not cleared up.

I've changed two things recently that may have caused the problem, but I can't
check:
        1) Changed BIOS from Phoenix 486 0.10 F6 to 0.10 F11
        2) Changed from ATI VGA-Wonder+ VGA card to the Orchid ProDesigner II

By the way, it's the ISA version of the Micronics 486.  The rest of my system
configuration (should it help in any way) is:

	1) Intel ACE-8 serial port card
	2) Adaptec AHA-1542B
	3) Generic Serial (2)/Parallel/Game card
	4) 3COM Etherlink II (?) 3C503 or something like that
	5) 16MB of RAM

The Workstation Developer package is completely installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail replies to the address
in my signature, as above addresses may not work.  I'll post a summary if I
get any helpful information.
