I'd try playing with the display depth. 16 bit is probably the safest.
But are you using the same changeset with 2.8 and 3.0?

The times I've seen black have only been in Alice when using
incompatable changesets and VMs. I think at changeset 3150 or
thereabouts we were told to get a new VM. Running the older VM with the
new changeset or vice versa certainly wrecked Alice (but I've never seen
it wreck text).
