Tom,

In addition to creating separate device drivers, you can
run "gpcolor" and set COLORS=101=white to set the background color
number 101 to white (or any color), or to quickly set the xw
color, you can launch the "ncolor" application from ntl and 
click on the first color box (#0) and configure the color).

I can create the above drivers you mention again if you need them.
