Ogle, 640x480

The only way I can get Ogle-0.9.1 to work on a Toshiba Tecra 8000, PII 
400mhz, running RedHat 8.0 is to change the display all the way down to 
640x480. It will not work on 800x600, even at a 15-bit color depth and 
without Xv.

 Is the 640x480 display all I can expect from the 400mhz processor? If I 
have no options, can I adjust the Ogle display so that shows all the 
image at 640x480?

Thanks,
Ted Parks
