Nope, no worries there.

I compiled her in SlackWare v7 and she runs perfectly on v7 as-well.

In-fact... I looked -back at the screen-caps again and I was mistaken
when I told you over on the message board that they were made in SW v12

Those actually were made while booted to SW v7

Sooooo....

If you are currently using a driver for some specific video card.....
instead, try switching to the vesa driver in /etc/vga/libvga.config

Aslo....

Be sure to un-comment the lines way down at the bottom for restoring
