You're being totally unreasonable.  If someone's got a
monitor so crappy that they can't even run at 800x600,
they use a different frontend to the draktools. 
That's part of the reason different frontends exist! 
The point isn't that every frontend is supported on
every single machine, the point is that all machines
are covered by at least one frontend, so nobody can
bitch about their machine not being supported.

Are you gonna whine and complain to us when you find
Gnome and Evolution unusable on a P133 with 16MB
RAM???  I sure hope not.  Doesn't mean Mandrake
doesn't support the machine, but you have to use tools
more fit to it (IceWM and mutt maybe).
