I think Hans's idea makes sense, since it was the file storm.c that was patched in the first place by others. I'll have to wait, because I've started a new gentoo install due to problems detecting the /boot partition in my machine. I botched an attempt to move data from that partition to the / partition. I have been able to do 1064x768 at 16 or 24 bits. Even 1100something x something worked, perhaps not as perfectly. Thank you for so many great answers, in great depth. I will see what comes about in a day or two. It's tricky to do this on a dialup.
