I stand corrected. The patch makes some changes to vl.h which do not cause the source files that 
depend on it to be re-built. A make clean ; configure ; make solved it.

The recommended graphics drivers for 2k can be shoehorned into XP-SP1a. Just make sure you select 16 
bit mode before you install the drivers, as they just puke in 24 bit mode and garble the display 
such as to make it pretty hard to actually do anything to reconfigure it after the fact!

The mouse positioning has its fair share of quirks, but once the right drivers are installed it 
works as designed. Good job!

Brad
