Quadra 800 will only let me use 640x480!

Hi!

Got sort of a problem with my Quadra. I have two graphicscards in it, one SuperMac Spectrum/24 IV and an Apple Display Card 8*24. The monitors i use are two Multiple Scan 1705. The extensions and control panel for the SuperMac card are installed.

The problem is that i can't set any other resolution than 640x480!

The monitors and gfx cards are capable of more, but i can't switch. Also, i only get "Recommended" resolutions in "Monitors & Sound", the option "All" is just gone.

Boot while holding down option or control (I forget which) and you get some choices of resolution. All SuperMac nubus video cards work like that.
