  (sadly, i can't respond directly to emmanuel's reply, as i'm at a client
site and, while i can fetchmail, i can't respond except through web-based
email.  so the headers might be a bit weird but i'm trying to keep the
subject line consistent.  sigh.)

  emmanual asks if i tried 16bpp to try to crank up the resolution.  i did,
and it made no difference.  in desperation, i just tried a pathetic 8 bpp, and
it worked!  so i have 1024x768 with 256 colors.  yeesh.  certainly, this
intel 865G card should handle more than that.

   here's the relevant snippet from /var/log/messages:

Dec 16 06:41:57 localhost kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann 
Dec 16 06:41:57 localhost kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 438M 
Dec 16 06:41:57 localhost kernel: agpgart: Detected an Intel(R) 865G Chipset.
Dec 16 06:41:57 localhost kernel: agpgart: Detected 892K stolen memory. 
Dec 16 06:41:57 localhost kernel: agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe8000000

  like i said, i have no experience with intel video cards.  is there a configuration
setting to get it to handle a higher bpp at this resolution?  thanks.
