Probably. It's an install that has gone from 1.6x to 2.x, back to 2.x,
and now at 2.0.4. I change to 8MB, reload, and only get 800x600. Change
to 16MB and get 1024x647.

On another machine with identical hardware & OS, but newer install, it
works just fine at 8MB. So, I reckon that you are correct.
