You will probably need the compat22 distribution for Netscape to work
correctly.
I installed it both during installation and then

Yes, it can be extended to support all graphics modes (except mode X
:-). But, how useful will it be? The VESA 800x600 raster text mode
was a kludge for some laptop systems, so it was justifiable. But, how
about others? 1024x768 mode can contain only 128 columns if we are to
use 8-dot
On a slightly related note, I am currently in the process of developing
patches to add more useful tweaked modes to the video driver:
