Poor OS 9 graphics vs fine OS X graphics

I usually use OS X but go to OS 9 for old favourites like Combat Mission. Did so the other night and was miffed to see that it plays in 640x480 resolution and all the explosions etc are rubbish. In OS X Classic (and before this problem,in OS 9) it always ran in 1024x768 with lovely detailing. I also noted that Baldurs Gate 2 runs really badly with terrible frame rate. It looks like OS 9 is not using my graphics card but OS X is (PBG3/500/1GB/18GB/ATI Rage Pro Lt).

This happened in OS z-9.1 and 9.2.1 (separate partitions), even after both fully re-installed and with latest Open GL/ATI stuff (although none recently I hasten to add) and I re-installed Combat Mission.

Any ideas? This problem is ruining the enjoyment of 2 of my favourite games!
