Following up: The solution proposed by Hans was somewhat successful. The buffer update problem has apparently been solved at a higher of 1024x768.

Wavy vertical lines are still evident. This I can ignore, however. At 862

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.

1024x768 at 24bits (16 million colours) should be doable.
