Help with Rasterops video cards

HelloI have Rasterops video boards - 8/24xli and PaintBoard 24 that I think work (Slot Info identifies the cards and the RAM disk feature appears when the 8/24xli is installed) - but when I connect it to my Macintosh Color Display to either card the image is garbled in the same way for both cards.  I have never used the cards and I am wondering of the cards are set for a resolution higher than 640x480.

Do these cards auto-detect resolution?  Or do I have to set the resolution manually or through software?  I don't see a resolution setting in the control panel.  And I don't see any obvious switches on the cards - no dip switches at all or jumpers that would seem to associate with resolution (one jumper at JPL10 on the 8/24xli, unknown function).

Anyone know anything about these cards that can help me troubleshoot? I am installing into a Mac IIci running 7.1.  Thanks!  Matt

Of course!  I have to select the card from the Monitors control panel.  That did it, thanks for your help!
