It certainly doesn't seem to be a greyscale mode.

It turns out that the error message is that BootSpool is open.  Within 
BootSpool there is the message: "Repeat: File 
'Boot:Choices.Boot.PreDesk.Backup' not found"

I never knew that BootSpool exists and I never noticed a Backup file 
in PreDesk.  Any idea what it should contain?   Would creating a blank 
text file called Backup sort this?

What helped was typing Configure MonitorType Auto at the command line 
which got me to a usable screen.  I've since deleted the !Geminus 
module and GemConfig.  Attempting to load the correct MDF into the 
Screen Configuration window is only partially successful.  At the 
moment both Mode and WimpMode are configured to Auto.
