i'm not currently using kgicon. Would that help with acceleration, or
just with auto-calculating video modes on the fly?

your right, that's where it was. What was happening is that i had no mode
for 32 bit color in the resolutions that i was attempting to use, and
therefore, it would just make up a mode. The correct solution was for
me to make some 32 bit modes, which it now uses just beautifully.
(i'm actually not saying this to you, but to the mailing list log, so
the next person who has this problem and looks through the mail list
log (probably me in 6 months after my hard drive crashes :), can find
the results.)

Thanks for everyones help.
